HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS 

THE 

PRINCE OF WALES, 



May it please your Royal Highness, 

JL HE following Performance is with all Humility inscribed 
to your Royal Highness : The Readiness with which you 
condescended to become the Patron of this Work, however 
inconsiderable in itself, is a noble Proof of your early At- 
tention to the Interests of Learning, and a favourable Presage 
of its Continuance in a flourishing State amongst us. What 
I here offer to the Public, is an Explication of the Ancient 
British Tongue, once the common Language of Britain, and 
still Preserved in the Principality of Wales. 

As every branch of Learning has its worth and Value, I 
flatter my self that an Attempt to ascertain the true Force 
and genuine Signification of a Language so necessary to the' 
right understanding of our British Antiquities, will not be* 
quite without its Use* 



IV 



The Knowledge of Languages is an Accomplishment not 
imbecoming a Prince; and whilst You are advancing in the 
Knowledge of the learned and polite Languages, You may* 
perhaps have sometimes an Inclination to enquire into the 
Genius of the Ancient British ; which, though it may want 
the refined Politeness and Softness of some modern Tongues, 
comes not short of any European Language in Point of Anti- 
quity, Copiousness and Independency. 

May Your Royal Highness go oh to tread in the Steps of 
Your illustrious Ancestors; and gain the universal Love of 
z grateful and loyal People, by manifesting the same gene- 
rous concern for their Happiness and Welfare. May God 
Almighty bless our most gracious Sovereign with uninter- 
rupted Health and Length of Days, that You may long enjoy 
the Benefit of his Instruction and Example ; That, when his 
long and prosperous Reign shall have arrived at its Period, 
You may govern these Realms with the same Equity, Mild- 
ness arid Paternal affection ■. 

These are the sincere Wishes and fervent Prayers of every 
True Briton, and arc always of him, who is with all possi* 
ble Respect and Duty, 

Your Royal Highness's 

most humble, 

most obedient, 

most devoted Servant, 

THOMAS RICHARDS.

THE 

Preface 



HE British Toftgue is allowed by all to be one of the 
£iost" ancient and least corrupted Languages in this Western 
fart of the World : and though it be at present but of small 
Extent, being spoken only in the Principality of Wales, and 
in one Province of France, Britany; yet there hath been a 
Time ( it seems) when it extended not only over the Island 
of Great-Britain, but over a great Part of the Continent of 
Europe. For it is maintained by many learned Men, *That the 
Celtcc, or antient Gauls, were the same People with the Britons, 
and ( making an Allowance for some small Variety in the Di- 
alect) used the very same Language. And, for Proof of 
this Assertion, they advance such Arguments as seem to be 
very strong and conclusive; as^—That both Nations had the 
same religious Ceremonies and superstitious Persuations; — 
'that both had their Druids for Priests to interpret the 
Mysteries of Religion, and their Bards to sing the great 
Exploits of famous Men; — That the Gauls, who would be 
throughly instructed in the Discipline of the Druids, used 
to come over into Britain to our Druids, to learn it; f which 
they could not do, as the Druids had no Books, unless their 
Instructions were given in the same Language as that which 
was used by the Ga ids;— That both Nations had one and the 
same form of Government;^- That they were very like in

their Manners, Customs, or Ways of Living; — That very 
many of the Celtic or Gallic Words, which are still preserved 
in Authors, agree very well with our British Words, both in 
Sound and Sense; — That many Names of * Cities, f Mount- 
ains, § Rivers, &c. in France, which is the Country that 
was anciently called Gaul, and wherein that famous People 
dwelt, cannot be well accounted for, unless we have Recourse 
to the British. These are some of the Arguments, which 
are brought by learned Antiquaries, to prove the Br Hans and 
Gauls to be one and the same People. Neither have the 
Britans any Reason to disclaim their Descent from that re- 
nowned and mighty Nation, who were so famous for their 
Military Atchievements; and with whom the Romans them- 
selves, for many Years, maintained a War, not for Honour 
and empire, but purely for Self-preservation. And we have 
great Cause to admire and celebrate the Divine Goodness 
towards us, that, after so many Vicissitudes and Revolutions, 
notwithstanding we have been conquered by the Romans,— 
driven afterwards by the Saxons into the mountainous Western 
Parts of this Island, and at last subdued by the Normans, who 
set themselves to abolish our Language, making express 
Laws to that Purpose; yet our Name hath not been quite 
blotted out from under Heaven : We hitherto not only enjoy 
the true Name of our Ancestors, but have preserved entire 
and uncorrupted for the most Part, (without any notable

Change or Mixture with any other Tongue) that primitive 
LANGUAGE, spoken as well by the Antient Gauls as Britans 
some Thousands of Years ago. The learned Abbot Pezron 
mentions this with Admiration, and counts it a Matter of 
great Honour to us. "The Language of the Titans, saith 
he, which is that of the antient Gauls, is, after a Revolution 
cf above Four Thoiisand Years, preserved even to our Time : 
A strange Thing, that so antient a Language should now be 
•poken by the Armorican Britons of France, and by the antient 
Britans of Wales. These are the People who have the 
Honour to preserve the Language of the Posterity of Gomer, 
Japhefs eldest Son, and the Nephew of Sham, the Language 
of those Princes called Saturn and Jupiter, W 7 ho passed for 
great Deities amongst the Antients.*" 

And as this Language has continued for such a long Series 

of Ages past, so we have no Reason to doubt but that it is 

the Divine Will that it be preserved to the End of Time, as 

we have the Word of God most elegantly and faithfully tran- 

$lated into it. And our Translation of the Holy Scriptures 

seems to have one peculiar Advantage of most modem 

Versions, in that (as some learned Men have observed) the 

Hebrew idioms, Phraseology or Forms of Speaking, are 

retained, and that with great Propriety too, in the British. 

Si phrases, locutionum moths, orationis syntaxin consideres, (saith

y \{{ THE PREFACE. 

Lath been observed, that our Language hath not only a great 
many Marks of the original Simplicity of the Hebrew, but that a 
vast Number of Words are found therein, that either exactly 
agree with, or may be very naturally derived from, that 
Mother-language of Mankind. And the learned Dr. Davies 
positively affirms, that the British Tongue hath a manifest 
Agreement and Affinity with the Oriental Languages, in its 
Words, Phrases, Composition or Texture of Speech, and 
Pronunciation of its Letters. Ausim affirmare Linguam 
Britannic am Jum vocibns, Him phrasibus & orationis contextu, 
turn literariim pronunciatione, manijestam cum Orientalibus 
habere congruentiam & affinitatem.\ 

But there is no Need of enlarging much on the Praise of 
this copious and antient Language. I shall therefore give 
the Reader a short Account of the Work—what Ends I 
proposed, and what Assistances I received, in compiling this 
Dictionary. My greatest Aim in this Performance was, to 
contribute, as much as I could, towards making the original 
Language of my Country more thoroughly and generally 
understood by my Countrymen; and also towards their more 
easy and expeditious Attainment of the JLnglish Tongue. An 
Undertaking this, which, I presume, may justly claim the 
Approbation of every C ' ambro-Britan . And, I hope, every 
candid R.eader will own, this End to be, in a great Measure, 
answered, when he finds, in the following Work, the various 
Significations of the British or Welsh Words distinctly and 
fully noted, explained and interpreted by proper English 
Words. The Explications are sometimes enlarged, when any 
antient Customs, or other British Antiquities occurred to be 
explained, The Etymons of W T ords are also given, whenever 
they seemed plain and to be rationally deduced. And every 
Body will own this to be an useful Piece of Knowledge-

>mce to be acquainted with the true Etymology of Words, not 
only conduces much to our understanding their Meaning, but 
imprints the Sense of them in our Minds, and fixes them in our 
Memories. The Words, which are not now of common Use, 
are often exemplified, either out of antient British Authors, 
or out of such of the Moderns, as are allowed to have been 
perfect Critics in the Welsh Tongue. The Armoric also is here 
often inserted, and sometimes the Cornish, as they are but Dia- 
lects of the antient British. It May afford Matter of Wonder, 
that a Colony of Britans, who have settled in France since 
the fourth Century,* do retain still the Language, which 
their Ancestors carried over with them; whereas the Cornish, 
here in Britain, have now (it seems) entirely lost the original 
Language of their Country, and must, if they desire to 
know the Significations of the Names of Families, Places, 
&c. come over to Wales to learn them. Some Irish Words 
are inserted too, which agree with the Welsh; for the Irish 
Tongue is known to have a great affinity with the British, and 
is thought by some to have been originally the same Language. 
As to the Helps I received for this Performance from 
Works of this Kind published before, I must acknowledge 
that the greatest Assistance I had, was from Dr. John f 
Davies's Dictionary; a Book which (to use the Words of 
that learned Prelate Dr. Nicholson, Bishop of § Deny, con-*-

THE PREFACE 



cerning it) shews its excellent Author to have been perfectly 
acquainted with all the Learned Languages as well as his 
own Mother-Tongue. It is to this learned Writer I am 
obliged for most of the Words, which, from the Hebrew 
and other Oriental Languages, are inserted in the following 
Work. I have likewise made Use of all the Authorities or 
Examples, which he gives from antient Writers, as they 
are accurate Proofs of the Significations assigned to the 
Words they are set under : And when I set down any other 
Acceptations of Words, besides those mentioned by the 
Doctor, or add any Words by him omitted, I often exem- 
plify them in the same Manner. I have inserted ail the 
Armor ic W r ords too, which occur in his Work. 

I own myself to have been much assisted too in this 
Performance by the ingenious Mr. Edward * Ehwyd's Arcioh 
clogia Britannnica. That excellent Book furnished me with 
several Hundreds of British Words, w r hich are not to be 
met with in Dr. Dawes's Dictionary. It is from the Archae- 
clogia I took the Cornish, Irish, and many of the Armorio 
Words. I perused also the same learned Antiquary's Ad- 
ditions to that part of Camden's Britannia which relates to 
Woks, and some of his other Writings. 

The learned Dr, Wottcn's Glossary, at the End of the Welsh 
Laws, was likewise of no small Use to me. It is from that 
Work I excerped the British Terms of the Law, and several 
other Words, which occur in Prince HOWEL DDA's Laws, 

* Edward Lhzvj/d, M.A. of Jesus College, and F. R. S. Keeper of the 
Ashmo/ean Museum in Oxford, died the 29*h of June, 1709, and in 
the 49th Year of his Age, He intended to publish a second Volume 
of his Jrcktfohgia Britawrica, which was to be an Historical Dic- 
tionary of the Kings, Princes, Noblemen, Saints, Churches, Castles, 
?md of all other remarkable Persons and Places among the Antient 
Britans, whereof any Mention is made in old Writings; but his uo-» 
ijmely Death deprived Posterity of that valuable Work.

that have been either wholly omitted, or not rightly inters 
preted in foimer Welsh Dictionaries. 

But besides these learned Works, which lay always before 
me, and which I constantly consulted with all that Applica- 
tion and Skill I was Master of, and a few other Works, which 
now and then afforded some Assistance; I have moreover, in 
order to render this Performance more compleat, made it my 
Business to peruse whatever Welsh Manuscripts I could come 
at; and it has been my good Fortune to meet with large 
Collections of the Works of the Poets, and some antient 
Manuscripts in Prose. From reading the^e, arid Books in 
Print, and some Observations of my own, but chiefly from 
the helps above-mentioned, this Work hath been improved 
to the Bulk wherein it now offers itself to the Publick; It 
was thought expedient also to prefix a compendious Welsh 
Grammar to it, for the Sake of such as may be desirous to 
know the Rudiments of our Language. If I have been so 
happy as to succeed in this Performance, it will be no small 
Satisfaction to myself, and, I am confident, meet with a 
favourable Reception from my Countrymen. As they must 
be allowed to be the most competent Judges of the Work, so 
I do not question but they will pass their Judgment upon it 
with Ingenuity and Candour. I know too well there are 
some, who have such an Aversion to their Mother-Ton gne, 
that they profess an hearty Desire of seeing it entirely abo- 
lished, that no Remains of it may be left in this Island : So 
great an Eye-sore is the Language of their Fore-Fathers be^ 
come unto them I But I shall neither regard nor value what 
Opinion such Persons may have of the Work, since their 
Prejudice and Ignonarce render them altogether unfit to 
pass a right Judgment upon it. Let them talk what they will 
of the decrease and Dwindling away of the Welsh Tongue, 
and forebode, that in a few Ages it will be quite driven ouk 
of Wales ; yet I shall look upon that old Welsh Gentleman as

the truer Prophet, who being asked by HENRY the Seconcf> 
King of England, what he thought of the Strength of the 
Welsh, and of his Royal Expedition against them, made his 
Answer in these Words : c < This Nation may suffer much, 
and may be in a great Measure ruined, or at least very much 
weakened, O king, by your present and other future At- 
tempts, as well as formerly it hath often been : But we as- 
sure ourselves, that it Will never be wholly ruined by the 
Anger or Power of any Mortal Man, unless the Anger of 
Heaven concur to its Destruction. Nor (whatever Changes 
may happen as to the other Parts of the World) can I believe 
that any other Nation or Language besides the Welsh, shall 
answer at the Great Day, before the supreme JUDGE, for 
the greater part of this Corner of the World." Quid sibi

THE Alphabet consists of thirteen single, and seven double Conso- 
nants, and seven Vowels, viz. a, e, i, o, u, w, y. Of the 'Consonants, 
nine are mutable, viz. b, c, d, g, 11, m, p, r, (which, when radical, is ever 
attended with h) and t. 

The J Consonant or Jod, the K, Q, X, and Z, are properly no Welsh 
Letters; nor are they wanted in Words purely Welsh. In writing exotic 
Words, instead of J we use Si, as Siencin, Siercin, and sometimes I, 
pronounced as Y in Yet, yes, as logo, loan, James, John. We express 
the sound of K by C, as Eabaaitc; of Q byCw, as Czcesthcti; of X 
by Cs, as Soniun am danat Folycsena, ail, §c. Ecsiro berth acystryw 
bar. William Liyn. Instead of Z, we sometimes use 8, as Sadoc mab 
Immer, Zadok the son of limner. Nebcin. 3. 29- or retain the Z, as 
Ezra, Ezeciel, 

Of the seven Vowels four are mutable; a, e, o, w, as paladr, petydr; 
castell,cestyll; ffordd, ffi/rdd ; bicch, bychod. 

The Diphthongs, or Union of two Vowels, are twenty ~t wo, and the 
Triphthongs seventeen,.

Of the Diptbongs four are mutable; ae, ai, au, aw; and sometimes eu 
Instead of Ai, the antients writ Mi; and for An, Eu. 
In South-Wales they use Ou instead of the An, of North- Wales ; as 
Our, for Aur, Gold ; Koul, for Haul, Suu.

OF THE PRONUNCIATION OF THE WELSH LETTFlRS. 

A $ Is pronounced as A English in Man, Pan, Tad, Bad: and whea 
circumflexed, as in Dame, Pale, Ale. 

B, as B English; 

C, as jfv English, or as C in Can, Cane, Come: Never as in Cedar^ 
City, Cistern. 

Ch, as X Greek rightly pronounced; and being a Radical, is ever 
attended with w. 

D, as D English.

in Bear, Fear, Tear.

THE WELSH LANGUAGE. 



Ng, as JMg In the English, King, Ring, Thong, Strong. 
H, as H in the English Hand, Hind. Note-, That some had rather 
call this an Auxilai y, than a Letter; because it serves only to aspirate 
the foregoing Consonants, as ch, ph, th; or the following Vowels, as 
ha, he, &)C. 

I, as the Greek I fwTOJ, or as Ee in the English, Bee, Tree; or i 9 in 
Jlich, Ring, Thing. 

L, as L English, in Laze, Love, Low, 

LI, is L aspirated, and has a Sound peculiar to the Welsh. It is 
prouounced by fixing the Tip of the Tongue to the Roof of the 
Mouth, and breathing forcibly through the Jaw-teeth on both Sides, 
but more on the Right; as if written in English, Llh. 
M, as M English. 
5N, as N English. 

O, acuted, as O in Gone: Circumflexed, as O in Bone. 
P, as P English. 

Ph, as the Greek <£; or Fh English, in Philosophy, Physick, See. 
The true difference, betwixt Jf, and ph, is, that we write with ff, 
either such words as are purely British, as Ffou, a Staff; Ffau, a Den; 
Ffordd, a Way; Ffelaig, a Chieftain, a Prince: Or such words as are. 
derived from Latin Words written with F, as Ffydd, Faith; Ffy niton, 
a Fountain; ^wrf, a Form; Ffenestr, a Window; Perjj'aith, perfect; 
but we >yrite with Ph either such British Words as have the Radical P 
changed into the Aspirate Ph, as Tri-phen, three Heads, from Pen, a 
Head; or when the Gr. <£>, or Heb. ED, are to be expressed, as Fhiloso-t 
•phydd, Philemon, Ephesiaid, Phinehas, Pharaoh; for it would he absurd 
to write these Words, Triffen, Fjilosoffydd, Fjilemon, Ejjesiaid, F/ine- 
has, Ffaraoh, 

R, as R English; and when a Radical, is always aspirated, as the 
(jrreek P, and is then written Rh. 

S, as 8 in the English, Savour, Sense. 
T, as T English. 

Th, as 77* English, in Thick, Thought, Mouth. 
U, as I English, hi This, Bliss: U circumflexed, as ee, in Queen, 
Screen, Green. 

W, as Oin the English To, Who; If circumflexed, as oo, in Boon, 
Hoot, Soot, Boot. 

Y, in the Penultima, Antepenultima, &c. as U in the English, Turn, 
Hunt, Further, Sturdy; or as i ia Bird, Third: In the Ultima or 
Monosyllables, as i in the English Tin, Thin, Skig, Trim (except the^e 
Monosyllables, F, ydd, ym, yn, yr, ys, fy, dy, myn; which soiu. i 
T, as in the Penultima); and if circumflexed, as ee, in the English, mtek, 
seek. You have both Sounds in the Words Ilunny, ystyr, Uytlufr, 
)n Hfy r > PJ/t ? !/ r t $"<*• 1h e constant sound of 1, in the Penultima, &<•. 
and its ordinary sound in the JJltinia, are both exempiihed in the 
single Word, Sundry, 

The accent is, in all Welsh words, either on the last, or penultin 
Syllable,* never on the Antepenultima: But it is much more fiequeutly 
on jl^e Penujtimu ; and when on the last, it is a Circumflex^ 



AN INTRODUCTION TO 



CHAP. III. 



CONCERNING THE VARIATION OF INITIAL 
LETTERS IN WELSH. 






Such Worcta as begin with mutable consonants, viz. b, c, d, g, II, m, 
p, r, and t, in their primary use, change these their radical initial letters, 
as occasion shall require, and according to the etfect, which the words* 
preceding have on them, as follows. 

Words primarily beginning with C have four Initials, viz. C, <lB 
Mgh; as Car agos, a near Kinsman; ei chakr, .her Kinsman; ei gar, 1 
Kinsman;^}/ nghar, my Kinsman. 

Words primarily beginning with P have likewise four, P, b*mh,pn; 
as Pen gzcr, a man's Head; ei ben, his Head; fy mlien, my Head; ei 
jphen, her Head. 

Words that have T in their primary use, have also four Ini ials, T t 
d, nh, th\ as Tad y plenty n, the Child's lather; ei dud, his Father) 
fynhad, my Father; ei thud, her Father. 

Words beginning with B have three, B, f, m; as Bara cann, Man- 
chet-Bread ; ei fara, his Bread; fy n\ara, my Bread. 

Words beginning with D have likewise three, D, dd, w, as DUW 

trugarog, a merciful God; eiDD UW, his God ; fy NUl'V, my God. 

Words beginning with G have also three, viz. G, tig, and the first 

Vowel in the Word, casting away the g; as Gwas ffyddlon, a faithful 

Servant; fy ugzcas, my Servant; ei teas, his Servant. 

Words beginning with LI have but two initials, Li, /; asLlazc zvenn, 
a white Hand ; ei law, his Hand. 

W 7 ords beginning with J\I have likewise but two, M, f; as Mam 
dirion, a tender Mother; ei jam, his Mother. 

Words beginning with lih have also two, viz, Rh, r; as Rhzcyd 
lazen, a full Net; ei rwijd, his Net. 

Note, That M and J\ r also are aspirated in South- Wales; as ei 

rnliam, her Mother; ei nhai, her Nephew. 

This Variation of the Initial Letters is always regular, and constantly 
betwixt Letters of the same Organ of Pronunciation; for a Labial 
Letter is never changed to a Dental, nor a Dental to a Labial, &c. 

Adverbs being formed of Adjectives, become such, by putting Yn in 
Apposition to the Adjectives, which change their mutable initial Con- 
sonants into their soft; as Da, (Adjective) good; Yn dda, (Adverb) 
well; Mwijn, (Adj.) kind; Yn fwyn, (Adv.) kindly. 

Initial Vowels are also capable of occasional Changes. Some of 
changing one Vowel into another; as J berth, a Sacrifice, pi. Ebyrth; 
Attal, to stop; Ettyl, he will stop; &c. And all, of taking the Aspi- 
rate h before them after the Pronoun sing. Ei, when of the feminine 
Gender; and the pi. Pronouns Eu, their; and Bin, our; and the 
Affix 'm; as Oedran, Age; ei hoedran, her Age; Amser, Time ; ejs.

kamser, their Time; 4"«^ Breath; einhartadl, our Breath; Arghcydd^ 
Lord; im harghcydd, to my lord, &c. which Diphthongs also are; as 
Eiddo, one's own; ei heiddo, her own, Sec. 

{^ZjT I must here caution the Reader, that, in seeking for Words in 
the Dictionary, he should always turn to them in their primary or radical 
Initials.

The Interjections are ranked with the Adverbs/ 
OF THE NOUN, 

AND FIRST OF ITS CASES. 

.As to the Cases, there is but one Termination throughout the Singular 
Number, and another in the Plural,* so that they are only distinguished 
by Prepositions set before them or in their Construction; varying their 
Initial Letters, if mutable, answerable to their Dependence on the 
preceding Words; as Ty, an House; dodrefn fy nhu, the Furniture of 
my House; iWv df/, to his house; pripiodd dy, he bought a Jrlouse; O 
dy, O House \ ailan 0*1 thy, out of her House. 



CHAP. V. 



OF THE NUMBERS. 

Welsh Nouns have ordinarily but two Numbers, the Singular and 
the Plural. 

We seem also to use the Dual, in expressing some Parts of an 
Animal that are Pairs, viz. when T)wy or JJeu, (two or both) may he 
compounded with a Substautive; as Dnyglus/:, deudi-oect, duyhiK, 
deulin, two (or both his or her) Ears, Feet, Hands, Knees. 

Substantives, compounded or put in appositioil with Numerals, 
instead of the Plural, use the Singular N umber : As i\ ylJihyn, eight

x. 24. 

Some Substantives want the Singular Number,* as G tc artheg, Cattle; 
Khieni, Parents. Others want the Plural ; as Bara, halen, ymenyn,

CHAP. VI. 

OF THE FORMING OF PLURALS IN A NOUN 
SUBSTANTIVE, 

WHICH WE CALL "ENW CADATtN," A STRONG OR STABLE NOUIv, 
BECAUSE IT STANDS OF ITSELF. 

Jl he Plurals of Substantives are formed of their Singulars in three 
Manner of Ways. 

First, By adding only a Letter or Syllable to the Termination of the 
Singular. 

Secondly, By changing only the Vowels or Diphthongs of Monosyl- 
lables into other Vowels or Diphthongs : Or by changing the Vowels or 
Diphthongs of both the Ultima and Penultima of Pollysyllables, into; 
Other Vowels or Diph'hongs. 

Thirdly, By changing the Vowels or Diphthongs of the Singular; and 
adding to the Termination too. 

But before we treat of each of these Ways in particular, it is requi- 
site to know the various Syllables usually added to the Singulars of 
Substantives, to render them Plurals; which are these that follow : 

An, and iqu, is the most common Termination of all ; as tad, pi, 
tadau; batch, pi. bekkiau. The Antients writ en instead of an; and 
sp it is most commonly pronounced still in South-Wales. 

Ion is also very frequent, especially in Adjectives and Participles; 
as Cj/wg or, Counsel, pi. cynghoriou; main, slender, pi. meinion ; gwel- 
edig, visible, pi. gweledigiom 

Qedd is likewise very common; Nef, pi. nefoedd; ynys, pl.ynysoedd. 

These, in the Poets, end sometimes in Edd,ynijsedd, llystdd,tiredd^ 
iLlaweredd; as, 

' Nadredd yn gorwedd yn seuth.* M.H.T. 

♦Dyre i'n gwlad, dur iawn g'^dd, pyrnaswr, dnvy ynysedd.' Jolo), 



The welsh language. f 

taid is likewise the Termination of many; as eog, pi. eogiaid; hebog f 
pl.hebogiaid'^ cyffylog, pi. cyffylogiaid. 

Od is common to many, and is used generally of Animals; as Hinos, 
pi. Uinosod ; mwyalch, pi. mzoyalchod, which makes also mzcyeilch ; 
cryhyrod, ysgyfarnogod, draeitogod, hychod, bychod, bythod. 

\dd is also the Termination of many; bron,p\. bronnydd', bropl. 
hroydd: So rhosydd, ffosydd, corsydd, nentydd, afonydd. 

Edd; as ezmi, ph. ewineddx bys, bysedd; dant, d'arinedd. 

1 ; as tref) trefi, which makes also trefydd, and sometimes poetically 
trefoeddj menu, meruit; saer,saeri; egizeys, eglzvysi-, which forms also 
egiwysydd: prophwydi, merthyri. 

Aint; as Gof, gof aint, which is likewise gof ion ; rial, n'eiaint; cdr^ 
cer ciint* which is also cerynt; 

* Ysgwier da ei gerynt, ysgwieriaidd wlsg ariant., L. Gi 

E d; as merch, pi. merched; pryf, pry fed. 
En; as Ych, ychen. 

*Ni thyn riieri nac ychen gwaithV L. G. 

Adon is added tb gordderch, as gorddercliadon. And the Antlents 
Said dyniadon, from the sing. dipt. 

I>; as gzcayzv, pi. gzmyzcyr and gzcezcyr-, cefnder, cefndyr; cyfyrder, 
tyfyrdyr; brazed, brodyr; as ' Brodyr a chefndyr i chwi.' W Inch is 
also broder; as 

* EI dri broder a'rh ceryri/ L. 61.- ' bedwar broder eres? L. G. 

Bui these four last Terminations are used only in these Words, or a 
few others. 

*Gzmrtheg pl. is an Anomal, and is used of the Species; asgzcartheg 
it cheffylau; and of the Sex; Ychen a gzcartheg. 

Some have a double Termination Plural; as Trefi, and trefydd ^ 
fgkcysi, and eglwysydd; Uais, lieisiau; and once lleision. 

* Wrth weled digrifed t6n, Y gog las ddigoeg leision.* D. G. 

Ach, nchau, and acheedd. 

j Achau y tad, o chaid dydd, Aehoedd Efa ferch Ddafydd.' L. G, 

Aber, makes aberoedd now r , antiently ebyr. 
'Calan hyddfref tyrrip dydd yn edwi, 
Cynnwrf yn ebyr, llyr yn llenwi.' P.M. 

* Megis twrf ebyr yn llyr llawn.' C 



CHAP. VII. 
OF THE FORMING OF THE PLURAL, 

&Y ADDING ONLY A LETTER OR SYLLABLE TO THE TERMINATION 
OF THE SINGULAR. 

.An Addition is either of a Letter, or of a Syllable. The only letter 
that is added alone is i\ al jfenedt, Jfettestrij riles, rhesi, perth,pcrthi. 



8 AN INTRODUCTION TO 

So Rkenii,i?esfri, menni: Saer,saeri; maen,maem, which makes also 
main; gzce,.gzcei, which makes also gzceoedd; lid, Hoi, and lloau, and 
Hoi an. 

Words ending in a become Plurals by adding the Syllable au, as 
Bwa, a Bow, bzca-au; coppa, the Top or summit of a thing, coppa-au; 
cymmanfa, an Assembly, ci/mmaufa-au. But for the more easy Pro- 
nunciation, one a is commonly cut off by Syncope, and the other a 
lengthened to the sound of a double ad; as Bzcau, coppau, cynimanfdu^ 
6jC. yet the double aa is also sometimes retained, as 

* Bwaau a ch-fai buain Sy i'w rhoi lie bo cwrs y rliain.* G. O. 

Some words ending in a make their Plural by adding another Syllable; 
tynnidleidfa, pi. cynnulleidfaoedd; tyrfa,tyrfaoedd' T porfa, porfei/dd* 

Every addition makes the Plural longer by one Syllable than tli 
Singular, as tad, tadau ; mam, mammau ; caddthj cadachau ; tir, tir 
oedd; hoel, hoelion; ysgyfamog, ysgyfarnogod. 

Monosyllables, which have the Vowel e with a Consonant after it> 
become Plurals by adding a Syllable, asmerch,?nerched; peu, pennou: 
And Some Nouns of many Syllables, as colotumen, coiommennod. 

Polysyllables in on, as cynffon, cyiijfonnau. 

All in od, as defod, defodau; cerhod, cernodiau. 

In ol, as ebol, eboliow, heol,Iieolydd; rheol, rheolau. 

In i, us pi, piod; gzeengei, gwenciod. Ci, curt, is an anomal 

Some have two Syllable added, as gorddercli, gordderchado)r, dyri^ 
Qyniadon, among the antients. 



GHAP. VIII. 

■ * 

OF PLURALS, 
Formed by changing only the vowels or diphthongs or the 

SINGULARS. 

Jk. Change alone is only in some Words, that end with a Consonant; 
but all Words that end with a Vowel, are formed by adding a Syllable. 
This Change is of a Vowel into a Vowel or Diphthong ; or of a 
Diphthong into another Diphhtong. 

-A, in Monosyllables is changed for the most Part into ei, iri their 
Plural, as march, meiich\ hardd, heirdd; bardd, beirdd\ arf, eirf. 
4 Campus eirf cwmpas arfoll.' D. G, 

So Iarll, sarph, larw, carzv, marzo, carr, arth, gast, iar, gafr. 
Bardd is also declined by adding and changing, beirdd and beirddion* 
S'o ; mark), meirto, and meirzeon. 

A is sometimes changed into ai, as bran, brain. 

O, in the Singular is regularly changed into y; as jjorchi ffyrch\ 
Ffordd,£]yrdd. So jportfij torchj mollt^ hollt, post, cort t corph, pont f 
gordd, cum, 



THE WELSH LANGUAGE. 9 

W is changed likewise into y, as llzodn, triUydn, canllydn. But 
Iolo said ieirch for iyrchod from die sing, iwrch.

The Vowel e is not changed here. 
The Diphthongs of Monosyllables are changed thus ;

The other Diphthongs are not changed here. 

THE CHANGES OF VOWELS IN DISSYLLABLES, TO RENDER THEM 
PLURALS, STAND THLS: 

Such as have a in the Penuhima, and a,e, orK', in the Ultima, change 
the a of the Penuhima into e, and the a, e, and zv of the Ultima into y. 

Words which have a in the Ultima and Penuhima, are, Fakidr, petydr; 
alafch, elyrch; aradr, erydr; taradr, terydr; afall, efyll; cadarn, ce* 
dym. But here the antients, instead of y, used ei, Mreidr, peieiar, 
ttreidr, cedeirn, fyc. 

The Word Dafad makes defaid in the Plural. 

In other words ending in a with a Consonant after it, the a itself, by 
taking i, becomes the Diphthong ai, which is often written W, jisgwyrun, 
gzcyrain; gwial, gzoiail; llyjfant, Uyffaint, or Uyffeint; llygad, iiugaid- t 
or l/ygeid; so ymddij ad, ehcdiad, gicy Iliad ; hynaf; tyzcarc/i, tytceuch. 
But bustach, is busty ch ill the PJuraf. 

Words which have a in the Penuhima, and e in the Ultima, are such 
as follow, Castell, cestyll; asgell, esgyil; padell, pedyll: So dste.ll> 
tafell, angcll, gradell, mantell, maneg, llazves, gzcacll, pi. gzceyli, and 
frequently gfflntf; bachgen, bechgyn; U-annerch,lleunyrcli } which makes 
also Ilenneirch : 

*Gwae'r ieirch, mewn Ilenneirch mae llai ,* 
Gvvae'r ceirw ddwyu gwr ai carai.' Iojlo. 

But Caseg, cesig; carreg cerrig, are excepted, which end in «, as do 
all other words in the Poets, which change a or e into y } as Tejiil, 
pedill, I lewis, fyc, 

* Cig ar ei fenig a fyn.* G. O. 

Such as have e in the Ult. (and not having a in the Penult, as above) 
generally change that e into y ; as Cyllell, cyllyll', Gzcyddel, Cuyddyl; 
gzcden, gwdyn; cefnder, dyr; cyjyrder, dyr. 
1 Cefndyr o ry w milwyr Moil/ G. O. 

And in the sing. 

* Pren per a chefnder i chwi.' M. H.T. 

But this Word is written frequently, and perhaps better, Cefnderw, 
pi. cefnderwedd, and also cefnderoedd. 

Words that have a in the Penuhima, w in the Ultima, are but few, 
Asczvrn, escynr, avddwrn, erddyrn. 

In like manner are formed migwrn, tnigyrn; canpyn, for canpzcn, Iolo. 
Canllydn, trillydn, fyc* from the simple word ihcdn. 

When o is in the Penuhima, and w in the Ultima, the o is changed 
into y\ as C'agwrn, pK cegynt; tfog&rn, llegynu

12 AN INTRODUCTION TO 

CHAP, X. 

THE GENDERS OF SUBSTANTIVES. 

vV elsh Substantives have five Genders, the Musculine, the Feminine, 
the Commune, the Doubtful, and the Epicene. 

There are two Ways to know the Gender of a Noun. 

The first by its Signification. The second by its Termination. 

The proper Names of Men, Winds, Months ; also Qualities good 
and bad ; Metals ; and the Infinitive Mood of Verbs, when used 
substantively, are known by their Signification to be of the Mascu- 
line Gender. 

Words ending in w, i, rzcydd, yn, (except teh/n, bhcyddyn, odyn, 
of the Feminine Gender) are Masculines by their Termination. Also 
.Nouns derived of Verbs ending in ad, ant, azedr, adur. 

The Names of Women, Countries, Cities, Rivers ; Also Appella- 
tives of Trees and Stones, are of the Feminine Gender. 

Derivatives that end in en, ech, es, ell, are Feminines by ending. 
But Caitell, a Castle ; Hiriell, an Angel ; Gefell, a Twin, are not 
of a British Origin, and are of the Masculine Gender. 

Some Words ending in aeth, are Masculines; as guasanaeth, pen* 
aeth, hiraeth. 

Some are Feminines ; as lAyzcodraeth, ymmerodraeth, b.renhiniaeth, 
a rglwyddiaeth, esgobaeth, persouoliaeih. 

Monosyllables in ig are of the Masculine Gender, except Gzcig, pig. 

Most Nouns of many Syllables ending in ig are Feminines. Fen- 
dejig, gwledig, are excepted. 

Og is of both Genders ; but mostly Feminine. Tyzcysog, szcydd- 
o%, marchog, talog, cymmydog, draenog, Ikcynog, ceiliog, nebog, cy- 
ffylog, are Masculines. 

The Monosyllable C6g 9 a Cook, is Masculine ; Cog, a Cuckow, 
Feminine. 

Words that are common to both Sexes, as Dyn, cardottal, llattai^ 
cennad, babau, phutyn, are of the Commune of two Genders. 

Such words are of the Doubtful Gender, which (being not distin- 
guished by Sex ) are indifferently used in the Masculine, or in the 
Feminine Gender; as [achazvdwriaeth, Dadguddtad, ackos, adad % 
animod, clod hedd, and many others. 

The Appellatives of Birds, Beasts, and Fishes, are of the Epicene 
Gender, that is, some Masculines, others Feminines. Yet undei the 
same Gender are borh Sexes comprehended ; aud are distinguished 
only, by adding Gwr-ryw to the Substantive, to signify the Male ; 
and Benyw, to signify the Female ; whatever Gender the Substan- 
tive is of ; as Eryr gzer-ryze, an he Eagle ; Kryv benyzv, a she 
Eagle ; Colommeu wr-ryw, a he Pigeon ; Colommen feny:c, a she 
Pigeoa. Jiver giving the Additional Words Qwr-ryw and Benyw an

Initial proper to the Gender the Welsh Word for the Animal is of. 

JBut forasmuch as these iive Genders are reducible to those two 
prevailing ones, viz* Masculine and Feminine ; and forasmuch as 
all Substantives do naturally fall into one or other of these two Gen- 
ders ; it may be expedient to lay down the following Rule of Mr. 
Gat/tbold's to assist in the finding out of the proper Gender of the 
Substantive given; provided the Substantive begin with one or other 
of the mutable Consonants. 

RULE. Any Word, beginning with any of the mutable Consonants, 
except LI and llh, if, upon putting y in Apposition before it, its 
initial Consonant, doth natturally change into its soft; as Boitas, 
yfottas; caseg, y gaseg ; such words are infallibly of the Feminine 
Gender : But if the initial Consonant change not thereupon, we may 
justly conclude, such Words to be of the Masculine Gender i a* 
Mrethyn, y brethyn ; march, y march, 



CHAR XI, 



OF A NOUN ADJECTIVE. 

E call a Noun Adjective, Emv gwan, a weak Noun, becasue it 
wants another word to express its Signification. 

The Variation of Adjectives is twofold, of the Gender, and of the 
N umber. 

The Variation of the Gender is that by which Masculines become 
Fern i nines. 

There are two ways of forming the Feminine from the Masculine. 

I. By changing only the Radical or Initial Consonant (if mutable) 
into its soft; as B/asus, masc. Jiasus, fern, canadus, masc. gariadus, 
fern, da, masc. dda, fern. &.c. 

II. Both by changing their Radical Initial Consonants (if mutable) 
into their soft; and changing their Voweis too. 

Of Feminities, which change the Vowels of Masculines, observe: 
First, that w being ihe ultimate Vowel of the Masculine, and having a 
Consonant following it, i^j changed into o, in the Feminine: Beside 
the change of the Initial Consonant in Construction, if mutable; as 
JBriciit, masc. j/ont t fern, crwrn, gropi; llwm,lom; ttcwn,'donn> irwm, 
drom; mzt'll, foil; hzvn, lion; Irwmizv, honno; pzbl, hot; trwsgl, drosg/; 
rhzith, roth; j/izech, fflocfr, thong, fiong. 

'Ni rof (drin welwflin aelflongj Hawdd amawr yn llawr y Honor/ Iolo. 

Secondly, Such Adjectives as have y for the last Vowel of the Mas- 
culine, with a Consariant following, change the y into e in the Feminine; 
beside the change of their Radical Consonants in Construction, if mu- 
table: v&gwyn,wen; llyfnjejh, hysj?,hesp; lh/m } km\ mriyn,jeimz 
So sychj sechy iipin,dmn\ syth^seth; hyll, heU*

of the Feminine Gender; as 

* Nds da i'r *ynys dywell, *Anglesey, 
Ni wri oes un ynys well.' L,G. 

Such Words are of the Commune Gender^ as change neither their 
Consonants nor their Vowels; but remain the same in their Femhunes, 
that they were in their Masculines; as Jbsennol, edifeiriol, iraidd, 
odiaeth, uchel, wltresgar } ysgar, chzcedleagar, ffol, tieitiduol, siaradus, 
fyc. 

Ail the Cardinal numbers of the Commune Gender; except Dau, trii 
pedwa*; which have Dzey, tair, pedair, to their Feminines. 

The Ordinals also are ail of the Commune Gender; except trydydd, 
and pedzcerydd; which makes trydedd, and pedzcaredd in the Feminine 
Gender. 

There are two other Changes of the Initial mutable Consonants of 
Adjectives in Construction, which are common to both the Masculine 
and Feminine Gender; viz. into their Liquids; as Fy ngharedig j razed \ 
Fy ngharedig chzcaer; or in to their Aspuates ; as Ei charedig f razed '% 
ei charedig chzcaer. 

CHAP. XII. 

OF THE PLURAL NUMBER OF ADJECTIVES. 

The Plurals of Adjectives are formed of Singular Masculines, in two 
Ways. 

I. By adding only to the Singular Termination; which addition is 
generally ion or on; ascrych, pi. crychion; du, duon; gzcyn, gzcynioiu 

II. By either changing the Singular Vowel, with an Addition; or by 
adding another Vowel to the ultimate Vowel of the Singular, and with- 
out an addition. 

Of these Adjectives, which change their Singular Vowels, and admit 
of an Addition too, it is to be noted, 

First, That a being the Vowel of the Singular Number, is in the 
Plural changed into ei ; as Gzmg, pi. gzceigion; gla* 9 gleision; marze, 
meirzeon; bahh, beikhion; daily deilUon. Deilliaid is a Substantive. 

Secondly, That azo t in die Singular, is changed mta o in the Plural; 
as T tared j pi. tlodion. 



THE WELSH LANGUAGE 15 

Thirdly, That w, in the Singular, is made y in the Plural; as Llzcm, 
Hymiohi trzcm, trymion; brwnt, bryntion. 

Of those that are made Plurals, only by adding another Vowel to 
the ultimate Vowel of the Singular ; observe, 

That many Adjectives, having a for their ultimate Vowel in the 
Sir-gular, are made Plurals, either by subjoining i to that a, as Llydan, 
pi. llydaiu; byddar, byddair\ ( Byddariaid being rather a Plural Sub- 
stantive) and avail (which changing also the a of the Penultima into e 
makes eraill pi. Or by changing a into ei; as Marw, meirw; batchy 
beilch. 

Many Adjectives want their Plurals; as Da, glan, teg, hagr, hen, 
serfyll, erchytt, cyndyn, hijdyn, tyzcyll, fflwch. But Potts, to some of 
these, give a Plural. 

<Pe baem hen ion, Fel eiti dynion. And 

1 Dynion cyndynion dinerth, Hyllion, erchyliion a clierth.* 

'Dai llun ond tywyllion ynt.' 

So all Adjectives ending in aid, aidd, in, Uyd, its, most ending in ig 
and og want the Plural. 

Cardinal Numbers have no Plural, when put in Apposition or in 
composition with their Substantives; though their Substantives, at the 
same time, may be either Singulars or Plurals : as> Tri, gzvr, tri-zct/r. 
But when set alone, or Substantively all of them have Plurals ; except 
Un, which cannot in nature have a Plural; as, Deuoedd, trioedd, ped- 
waroedd, &;c. Ugeiniau, deugeiniau, cannoedd, miloedd. 

Ordinals have no Plural Number. 



CHAP. XIIL 



OF THE TERMINATIONS OF ADJECTIVES. 

JLhe Terminations of Adjectives are various, and many of them are 
definitive of some peculiar Signification. 

Aid, denotes the Metal or Stuff whereof a Thing is made; as Euraidj 
golden or made of Gold; Ariannaid, silver or made of Silver; Efydd- 
aid, brazen or made of Bras^. 

Aidd, denotes Likeness or Quality; as, Morwynaid d, Maidenlike; 
broaidd, pleasant like a vale. 

Gar, given or addicted to; as, Lletteugar, given to hospitality; gzcin- 
gar, given or addicted to wine 

Ig, generally relating to a Country or Place; as, Seisnig, Cymreig, 
dinesig, mynyddig, of or belonging to England, Wales, City, Mountain, 
English, Welsh, City—, Mountain--. And sometimes Quality; as, 
Gzcenzcynig, poisonous. 

//*, the Substance whereof a Thing is made; as, Meinin, of or made 
of Stone; gwydrin, of or made of Glass, 



16 An introduction to

*Ystynriaw2 fy ngliri, Cadwyn hayernin, 

Yn nhy dayerin, Am ben fy ticu lin/ Aneurii 

*Yni fwyf gynnefin a derwin wydd, 

Ni thorraf am car fy ngharennydd.' M.B. 

Lyd, and L(y<2, an ill or unbecoming Quality ; as, JYi/chlyd, pining* 
Infirm; bazclyd, dirty; gzveMZoyidlyd, poisonous; dyfrllyd, waterish. 

Out of Adjectives ending in lyd, they form in Fowys Feminines in 
led; as, Brycheuled, poethled. 

And so did the Ancients; 

'Ei gad-feirch a'i seirch ^reulerf, 

Bid yn anysgoget bid ged.* Aneurin* 

' Barf ar farf, ac arf yn ereuled, 

Tal trathal, trail ial trachaled,' Cyndd. 

'Arwr syr syrthies afrifed 

Ar ei law a'i lam wyarlled.* P.M. 

• Mam iarll a'r arf wyarlled, 

A gwraig iarll goreu a gred.* G. Gl. 

' Ar wybren drymled ledoer/ D.G. 

Qg, having or abounding with; as Brzaynog, rushy, abounding with 
bushes; ae/iog, having (thick or large) Brows; troeaiog, having Feet. 
So goladog, asgyrniog, eUhinog, ysgallog, be. 

Adjectives ending in og in the Poets end likewise in azeg 01, is a 
very frequent Termination, and denotes Quality; as, Syukuyf'ol, pru- 
dent ; gormesol, oppressive. These end poetically also in azcl. 

Us, Quality likewise; zsCariadus, loving; melus, sweet; ofnus, fear* 
ful; trefnlis, methodical. 

Substantives ending in nt, when they become Adjectives, cast away 
the t; as, Haint, heinus. 

'Heinus adfydig hynwyf.' Ll.G. 

Braint, breiniol. Clmant, chzcamiog. 



CHAP. XIV. 



THE COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES. 

e call the Positive Degree, Enw gzmn gwastad, yr hum y 16 y 
xynzcyr cyntaf ir gair ynddot, i. e. An even weak Noun (or Adjective) 
in which is the primary Signification of the Word. 

Others call it Isel-radd, the low Degree; or, Y gys^efin-rddd, the 
primitive Degree, or positive. J)u, black; gzcynn, white* 

We call the Comparative, Chzoanegol o tin rddd; i. e. Increased by 
©ne Degree; and y berfedd-radd, or y ganol-rdddj the Middle degree. 
And it is formed or made regularly by adding the Syllable ach to the 
positive j as Buach, blacker } gwynnachj whiter* 



THE WELSH LANGUAGE yf 

We call the Superlative, CJmanegol yn y radd uchaf, increased in the 
highest Degree; or, Uchel-rddd, the highest Degree; and it is made by 
idding the Sellable af to the Positive; as, Duaf, blackest; gwynnaf, 
whitest. 

All Words double the final Consonants of the Positives, in the 
Comparative and Superlative Degrees: except, 1. Such as circumflex 
the Vowel of their Positives, with their Compounds; as, Glan, glan- 
ach, g/anaf; aflan, ajianach, ajianaf; cas, camch, casaf- y atgas, atgas** 
ach, aigasaf: 2. Such Positives as already end with two Consonants, 
whether similar or dissimilar; as Byrr, byrrach, byrraf; pell, pellach, 
pellaf; hagr, hagrach, hagraf. 

Positives ending in b, d, g, in the Comparative and Superlative, 
change b into pp ; d into tt \ and g into cc; as, cyffelyb, cyfelyppach, 
cyjjdyppaf; caled, calettach, calettaf; tebyg, tebyccach, tebyccaf. 

Positives having ai, change ai into ei, in the Comparative and Su- 
perlative ; as Bhaid, rheitiach, rheitiaf. 

Positives having aw, change aw into o in the Comparative and Su- 
perlative; as, Tlazcd, tlottach, tlottaf. 

Positives having w for their Vowel, change w into y in the Comparative 
and Superlative; as, Brwnt, bryntach, bryntaf; tram, trymmach, 
irymmaf. 

THESE FOLLOWING ARE ANOMALOUS OR IRREGULAR 
COMPARISONS. 

Da s good; gwell, better; gerau, best. 

Drug, bad; gzcaeth, worse; gzcaethaf, worst. This Word, and the 
nine following form the Superlative from the Comparative, not from 
the Positive. 

Bach, or bychan, little; ttai, less; llezaf, least. 

Mawr, great; mwy, greater; mwy of, greatest. 

Hir, long ; hwy, longer; hzcyaf, longest. 

Hen, old; hyn, elder; hyrmf, eldest; 

Isel, low; is, lower; isaf, lowest. 

Uchel, high; uzvch, and itch, higher; uchaf, highest. 

Agos, near; nes, nearer; nesaf, nearest. 

Hazvdd, easv^ haws, more easy; hawsaf, most easy. 

Llydan, broad; lied, broader; llettaf, broadest. 

Llawer, many, borrows mzcy, more, and mzvyaf, most, from mawr. 

Buan, or cloi, (S.W.) swift; buanach, and cynt, swifter; buanaf, 
and cyntaf, swiftest. 

Ieuangc, young ; iau, and ienangach, younger; ieuaf, and ieuangaf, 
youngest : And sometimes ifof> 

Allan, out; eithaf, utmost or outermost. 

Diwedd, a Substantive signifying End, makes the Superlative Di- 
weddaf, last, and also Diwethaf. 

Trech, stronger, is a Comparative wanting a Positive, and makes its 
Superlative Trechaf. But Sion Tudur hath trechach, 

* Na ad drachwant yn drecliaeh.'

The Welsh Language, besides the three Degrees of Comparison 
already mentioned, hath a sort of Comparison, which imports some- 
times Equality; sometimes Admiration; and may be explained in

OF THE VERB. — GAIR, BERF. 

J- he Welsh Verbs are, for the most Part, formed of Substantives of 
the same Signification with them; as, Dysg, Learning; dysgais, I 
taught. Car,' a Friend; Caraf, I love, or I will love; and many are 
formed of the Present Tense of the Indefinitive Mood active. 

In some Verbs the Third Person of the Preterperfect Tense is the 
Radix of Formation ; as, Aeth, daeth, gwnaeth, bu, oedd, with their 
Compounds. 

THE FORMING OF A REGULAR VERB ACTIVE. 

INDICATIVE MOOD, PRESENT TENSE. 

The Welsh Tongue is defective in this Tense : And therefore, instead 
thereof, useth a Circumlocution, by a Verb Substantive and the Ir nm- 
tive Mood of the Verb, used instead of a Participle of the Present 
Tense; as, Yr zcyf yn caru, I love or do love, or, I am loving. But 
sometimes, instead thereof, it maketh use of the Future Tense of the 
Indicative Mood ; as, Credaf yn J\ r uw Dad, I believe in. God the 
Father. Beth meddi di? What sayst thou? Mi a welaf, I see. Ti 
a weli, thou seest.

THE WELSH LANGUAGE. gi 

This Tense is formed from the Radix, by adding the Terminations 
f the Persons ; and changing the mutable Vowel in the first and second 
Person Singular; as, Car, cerais, ceraist, amcan, ameeriais, amcertaist. 

Verbs that have their Radixes of Formation "ending in /, and some 
that end in n; and others ending in id, yg, air, eir, and iw, borrow the 
Letter i, and place it after their /, n, d, g, r, iw; as, YmbiL ymbiliais' 9 
erf fin, erfyniais; ymlid, ymlidiais; cyrihyg, cynnygiais; cynniweir, 
cynniweiriais; ymliw, ymiiwiais. And if their ultimate Vowel be a or 
ai, they change these besides; as, Attal, atteliais ; amain, arzceimais. 

Verbs ending in zv, if w be also the Vowel of the Penultima, the final 
w is thrown away, and i borrowed; as, .Bzvrw, bwrian, bzcriaist. 

Verbs remaining intire, and having a double mm, or tin, before their 
Vcwel, do ordinarily change their last m orn, into h, in all Tenses and 
Persons, except where their Radixes are their Persons; as, Cymheilais, 
£\c. Ci/mhort/iais, fyc. Cynheliais, 3$c. Amheuais, fyc, of Qymmell, cym^. 
morlh, cynnal, ammeu. Except Cynneu. 

Many Verbs ending in n, double their n, and do not borrow i ; as, 
gorpften, gorphennais ; gofyn, gofynnais. 

Some Verbs, having w for their Characteristick, by a Syncope cut 
off a, between their w and s, in forming; as, Taw'som, clyw'som, 
gccrandazd'aom: Others do not; as, Cddzcasom, galwasom. 

\1I Verbs having double Consonants for their Characteristic!^, retain 
those double Consonants throughout ; as, 'Sgrifemm, 'sgrifennaia, 'sgri~. 
feminist, fyc. Except Caffael; cefais, cafodd. 

Dwyn, with its Compounds, throw away wyn in forming, and take 
yg in the Room thereof; as, Dzoyn, yiiiddioyn ; dygais, ymddygais, §c+ 
Some others change wy into y\ as, Dirztyn, dirynnais; ysgwyd, ys-\ 
gydwais. 

Verbs having azv, in ult. with a Consonant following, change aw into 
o; as, Dadymsawdd, ymbazor ; dadymsoddais, ymborais. 

Verbs having w in ult. with one or two Consonants following, change 
w into y throughout ; as, Ilebrzvng, hebryngais. 

Verbs ending in o, formed from the Verbs ending in aw, not apoco- 
pated, are varied as Verbs in azo; as, Gzcrando, taro, from gwrandaw, 
laraw, preter. grvrandewais, tarewais, frc. 

Verbs, whose Radixes end in ael, aeth, ain, egj yd, yll, most in ed, 
throw away these Terminations in forming; as, Gadaet, gedai$\ 
marchogaeth,marchogais; lief ain, lief ais; ? % hedeg,rhedais; sefyll, sefais; 
Cerdded, cerddais. 

Dwyn, makes dug; and Ymddwyn make ymddug, in the third Person 
sing, of this Tense; and Gymmerifd makes sometimes cymmerth. 

The third Person sing, is often made to end in es\ as, llkoddes Duze; 
efe a'i dodes ; efe a weles yno : Sometimes in is ; as, Gwmndewh l gad- 
ewis; ' Cymro glew a'n gadezvis.' D.G. And often, by a Poetical 
License, inawdd: as, 

* T ci a las yn y clawdd, 

Llwyddiant i'r neb a'i liaddawdd.' D. LI, 

♦Ni adawdd, ni bu nawdd nes/ D.G, 



22 AN INTRODUCTION TO 

This Person in the Dialect of South-Wales, ends likewise in m$ ns. 
Caries, he loved, or he hath loved. 

Verbs ending in oh in their Radix, throw away i in the Singular 
K umber, and resume it again in the Pluarl; as, Troi, troais, ironist, 
trodd by Contraction for troodd. Plur. tr&isom, trouoch, troimrit. 

The third Person sing, of all Tenses is sometimes put indefinitely 
for any Person of its Tense, having a Nominative Case set before it ; 
as, Mi a garodd; ti a gat-odd; ni a garodd ^ ckzii a garodd j. fa*

The third Person singular of the Future Tense ends commonly 
and regularly in <?; especially in Verbs originally ending in a ; as 
Diotta, gzvledda, fa. except bzcytty, of bzcytta. 

So Verbs originally ending in w; as,'scrijetina, flamma; of 'sgri- 
fenmi, llammu, fa. So Verbs ending in o; as, Cilia, cJmilia ; of 
c'dio, chztilio, fa. And Verbs ending in an ; as, am/ha, lleihd, fa. 
(and anciently, aml/iaa, lleihaa, fa.) of amlhau, lleihau, fa. But 
inost Verbs, remaining intire in informing, are the same in the third 
Person singular, that they are in their Radixes; as Arzcaiu, dar- 
Uain, cyruiyg, dechreu, ymladd x cytmzcya, gorphny^ tyzcys, fa, 

Some Verbs, having a in the Ultima of their Radixes, change 
tfiat a into ai or ei in the third Person. Singular; as, &af y suif'-, dafn, 
daifn; gall, geill; parch, peizch. So cadzy % ceidzo ; galw, geilw* 
And if they have a also in their Penult, that a is moreover changed 
into, e; as, Qwahardd, gweheirdd ; gzearchadze, gziercheidic- 

When Verbs have a in the Penultima and e in the Ult. the a is 
changed into e, and the e into y ; as, Qzcxred, gweryd* atteb, ettijb. 

Some Verbs, which have o for the last Vowel of their Radixes, 
change that o into y ; as, s Tro, try ; ton\ tyrr ; rhodd, rhydd ; ffo, 
Jfy; golch, gi/lch; dod y dyd\ do,dy; llosg, flysg ; And their Com- 
pounds, Ymdry, ymylch, datdy, dyry, ymdry. So-, Diojch, diylch;

Others change o into aw 7 as, Toddi, tawdd; hoddi, bazedd; toli $ 
tazel; moli, x mazd. 

If Verbs, having o in the Ultima, have <$ or o in. the Penultima, 
they change the a or o into e, and the o of the Ultima into y ; as, 
Grerando, gzorendy ; gado, gedy; taro, tery ; addo } eddy y, go sod, g&- 
*yd', aros erys. 

Some Verbs are reducihe to no Rules j as, Ctcyd of Codi'x dzl'gj.

THE WELSH LANGUAGE. 23 

A great Corruption hath long since prevailed, both In Talking and 
Writing Welsh, to make this Person end in iff; as, Se/iff, for salf; 
iorriff, for tyrr; lleddiff, for lladd; but no Verb ends thus, except the 
Verb irregular Caff, from CaffaeL Dr. Davies treats this Barbarism 
with the Censure it deserves. " Jamdudum bbtinuit, ut haec Persona, 
coruptissime vulgo exeat in iff. Quod factum existimo ex «a*o£Wa, &

The second Person Singular is the same with the third Person Singu- 
lar of the Future Tense of the Indicative; except in such Verbs as 
change the Vowels of the Future; as, Tyrr, try, gytch, &c. which make 
here no Change ; as, Torr, tro, golch, &c t And from gado is formed 
gad. 

The third Person Singular ends sometimes in id, with the usual 
Change of the Vowels; as, Cerid Duzvji, for Cared. 

All the Plural is always the same as the Plural of the Future 
Tense of the Indicative Mood ; save only that the Poets sometimes 
make the third Person end in ent\ as, Carent, for Carant. 

And in Out, from the Future of the Potential, whence t being thrown 
away, On; as, 

' Cornwal Caerlldoti galwort am geiliog/ R< N* 

OPTATIVE MOOD. 

The Optative, Potential and Subjunctive Moods are the same in. 
Voice ; and their Signification is distinguished only by the Particles 
joined to them. 

They want the Present Tense, 

preterimperfEct t£nse% 
Sing. Cdrwn, Cerit, Carai, '-• Pliir. Carem, Catech, Carent* 
The third Person Plural, in the Poets, ends also in aint, which Dr.

Person, from the third Person Singular, ai, 

'Nest wiw goeth, wenddoeth, wyn-ddaint ac Ifor,

g4 AN INTRODUCTION TO 

And t being thrown away, ain, ' Ac na bain ar druain draed,' for

But the whole Plural is made most usually m the Poets, by cha:

Cerym, Cerych, Ceri/nt. 

PRETERPERF. AND PRETERPLUPERFECT TENSES. 

Sino*. Carasicn, Carasit, Carasai. Plur. Carasem, Carasech, Carasent,

FUTURE TENSE. 

Sing. Carzeyf, Cerych, Caro. Plur, Carom, Carovh, Caront. 

INFINITIVE MOOD. 

The Infinitive Mood hath various Endings, and very frequently a 
Consonant j but it more commonly ends with the Vowels, a, i, o, u. 
And some end in an, an, ain. 

The Infinitive Mood is known commonly by the Sign I, To\ or by 
its following another Verb in the same Sentence, without any Nomi- 
native Case between. And though the Verb stand un\ 3 to 
itself I yet doth it admit of three Tenses j The Present, the Preter, 
and Preterpluperfect Tenses. As for Example : 

Present Tense. J ddywedyd, to say: Anfonoddfi i ddyzcedyd wrth- 
ych, He sent me to tell you. Dy&gzcch ofni'r Arglzcydd, Learn to 
fear the Lord. 

Preter. Tense* Dyzvedii mi'th dzcyllo, thou sayst that I have 
deceived thee. 

Preterplu. Tense. Haerodd imi ddywedyd, He asserted that I had 
said. 

The Voice of the Infinitive Mood is divers ly used. 

First, As Substantives : and as such, are made Nominative Cases to 
Verbs, and Substantives to Adjectives} as, Gzceithio sydd boenus i*P 
diog, to work is painful to the lazy. 

Secondly, As Gerunds * as, J\ld oes diben ar wneuthtCr llyfrau lazcer, 
Of making many books there is no End. Trzcy rodio ger dy fron, By 
•walking before thee. O'u Cadzv y mae gicobr lazcer, In keeping of* 
them there is great Reward. 

Thirdly, As Supine^ as, Aeth i bregethur efengyl, He went to 
preach the Gospel. Anweddaidd iw or ei ddysga, Unseemly to be 
taught or learnt. 

Fourthly, It supplies all the Persons of the Present Tense of the 
Indicative Mood : see that Tense. It also supplies the Persons of the 
Preterpluperfect Tense of the Subjunctive Mood, Wedi, being placed 
before the Nominative Case 5 as, 11 edi Vr gur lefaru, After the Man 
had spoke. 

PASSIVE VOICE. 

All Verbs Passives have but one Termination, being the Voice of the 
third Person Singular, which serves throughout all the Persons of both 
Numbers. 






frHE WELSH LANGUAGE. 55 

The Changes of Vowels, in forming Verbs Passives, are these which 
follow : 

A, in the Ultima of the Radix of Formation in the Active Voice, is 
changed in some Tenses of the Passive into e ; as Car, cefid; llddd, 
Ueddid. 

Ai, in the Ultima of the Active, is changed into ei, in the Passive ; 
as, Amain, arweinir. Wng is changed into Ing; as, hebrwng, 
hebryngir. Wyn is changed into yg; as ymddwyn, ymddygir. 

INDICATIVE MOOD, PRESENT TENSE. 

We havS no Present Tense, but form it by a Participle and a Verb 
Substantive Passive. 

Cfy nghartt, I am loved. 
Sing. Yr ydys ynAdy gam, thou art loved. 
tefgaru, he is loved. 



( eih cam, we are loved* 



P liir. Yr ydys yn^\ etch cant, ye are loved. 
\eu cam, they are loved* 



iOeddid ) ; 

Way. A Byddid K

Or we use the Future Tense instead of the Present ; as* Sing. Cent 
ji, ti, ef. Piur. Cerir ni, chwi, hwynt. 
'Rhvryddach y cerir heddyw 
Rhddd, a gwnai fodd, na iawn fyw.*

The Participle of the Second or Passive Future is also otherwise 
jrfcade, by either prefixing or subjoining G.wizp, to the Subst, whence 
the Ve»b is derived ; as, grcizcghd, gwiwgais, or, cfodwiw, ceiszcko. Or 
otherwise by prefixing Hy, to the Radix of the Verb; as, Hyrar, hy- 
fidysg, ki/glod f hyffordd, hygof. If Words compounded with Hi/, do 
not rather import a Disposition or Feasibility; and answer to able, or

flexible, or which may be bent; Hygof, memorable, or which may be 
easily minded or called to Mind. 



IMPERSONATES. 



Impersonate are such as have no Persons, except the third Person 

Singular only: as, Dyddhau, to dawn; nosi, to grow Night; dyddhaodd,

I have, thou hast staved, &c. Jr/iosaf, and Athoaf, I will slay. The

Apocope, Ery. 

'A gwayw hir gwae a'i hery,

ARTICLE. — jYOT BANNOG. 

he Articles (the first of the undeclinable Parts of Speech) are two, 

and Yr, the. 

Y, 0, ri 7 to, is placed before Consonants and w; as, Ygwr, the Man; 

wraig, the Woman. And in the Southern Pialect it is placed before 
; as, Y iaith, for Yr iaith. 

Yr, 0, y, to, is used before Words beginning with Vowels, whether 
radical or in Construction; as, Yr Aberth, the Sacrifice, Yr orddig 
tvraig, the angry Woman, 

But when the Particles, a, na, i, o, precede in Construction, and the 
Word following begins with a Consonant, or w, or i, then Yr is used, 
but the y is cut off by Apostrophe, because of the preceding Vowel ; 
as, Mi a 7 * gzbr; G well ndr wraig. Car i'r iarU, i'v brenlriu. Dj/n 
pr drtf. After other Words ending with a Vowel, with Words 
freginnig with a Consonant following, we use promiscuously, y or >

CHAP. XXV. 

THE SYNTAX. — CYSTRAWEN. 
OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF SUBSTANTIVES* 

ubstantives come together in Construction in two Ways: First, as 

longing to one Thing. Secondly, as belonging to divers. 

First, as belonging to one Thing. 

If two Substantives, the one a Proper, and the other a Common, 

ome together^ and the Common be placed first, then Y or Yr is put 

before it; and if they be Masculines, they make no Change of their 

Initials ; as, YBrenin Dafydda ddyzcedodd. But if they be Feminines, 

both Change their Initials into their Soft; as, Y foncyn Fair. 

B>ut if the Proper be placed first, and the Common last, it changes its 
Initial sometimes into its Soft, though it be Masculine; as, Dafydd 
f renin. Lies fab Coel. Hywel Bohydd, 

The Latter of two Substantives common hath sometimes the Pre- 
position prefixed to it; asfiwr o saer ai gwnaeth, Benyw o oich- 
yddes a garodd. 

And in the Northern Dialect gan; as, Y sant gan Bedr. Y milwr 
gan Arthur. Y lleidr gan Barrabas. 

Secondly, When two Substantives come together belonging to divers 
Things, the latter being as it were possessed by the foinier, then the 
latter Substantive will retain its primary or radical Initial ; as, Tij tad 
i Dafydd. Mam Gwenlliartf; and sometimes it changes it into its Soft; 
a«, I dy Ddiiw o r i dy ydd af. 

If the latter Substantive be the Proper Name of a Country, Town, 

or Place, and the former Substantive be of the Plural Number; then 

the latter is immediately subjoined with its radical Initial; as, Guyr 

Ltoegr. Gzcragedd Llundain. But if the former Substantive be of 

the Singular Number, then the latter changeth its radical initial into 

its So r t; and hath o put before it; as, Gkr o Loe^t. Gzcraig o Lt/ndain. 

\ Both Substantives being Common, and not pertaining either to 

r Manufacture or Material whereof a thing is done, or to be done; the 

latter is immediately subjoined to the former without any Change of its 

Initial; as, Cariad main, haelioni tad; gzceinidogBuu: ; pen bryn* ■ 

II G 



50 AN INTRODUCTION TO 

But if the former Substantive be an artificial Piece, and the latter* 
the material, then is the latter either immediately subjoined, without 
any Change of its radical Initial, if the former be Masculine; as, Tif 
coed, Jlor prh; or with a Change of its radical Initial into its Soft, if 
the former Substantive be Feminine; as, Ysgubor goed. Cartwylt 
gzcyr. Ffiam dan. Or are otherwise made with o between ; as Ty o 
goed. Sarph o brh. Canzcyll o gzcyr. Fjiam o dan. Or Adject- 
lvely, thus; Ty coedazcl. Ysgubor jemin. 

If tlie former Substantive be the Artist, and the latter the Material, 
or the Piece wrought or to be wrought, the latter is immediately sub- 
joined with its radical Initial ; without any Regard to the Gender of 
the former ; as, &aer coed. G6f pedolau. Gzcniedyddes crijsau. 

In some Respects the latter Substantive hath i between it and the 
former ; as, Gzcr i Dduzc. Tad Cr ytnddijaid. Amser i aluru. And 
sometimes Hh ag ; as, Ofn rhag yr habit a syrthiusai arno. 

Lastly, it is to be noted, That the Substantive possessed is ever 
placed after the Possessor, when put in Apposition with it. But if the 
Substantive possessed be compounded with the Possessor, it is then 
placed foremost in the Composition, and the radical Initial of the 
Possessor is ever turned to its Soft,- as, Cad-farch, a War4iorse, or 
Horse of War, Adardy, a Bird-house. 

CHAP, XXVI. 



THE CONSTRUCTION OF SUBSTANTIVES AN0 
ADJECTIVES. 

Jlhe Substantive and Adjective agree generally in Gender, and some- 
times two in Number J but an Adjective Sii^ular is very often joined 
to a Substantive Plural. 

The Place of the Adjective in Construction is generally after its 
Substantive; as, Garcia; dyngzci/ch; gzcraig Ian; merch wen. 

When an Adjective comes after a Substantive singular of the Mascu- 
line Gender, it retains its radical Initial ; as, Ty teg; gzcr da; dyn doeth. 

But when the Adjective hath obtained the use of a Sirname, and is 
subjoined to a Proper-name, the Adjective assumes its Soft, though its 
Substantive be of the Masculine Gender; as, Myrcel Dda; Dafydd 
Gam; Idzcal Foel; Iorzcerth Drzcyn-dzcn. And so also do other 
.Adjectives', as, Dafydd dduzciol; Human ddichcltgar ; Lazarus dluzcd. 
So also digon, gormodd, hull, llazcer, petty bagad, rhui, when joined to 
Masculine Substantives common; as, Bzcyd ddigon; dzcfr ormodd; 
y dyni'm oil; da lazver; enllyn betk; gzcyr fa gad \ defaid rai. 

The Adjective, after a Substantive singular of the Feminine Gender, 
chaugeth its radical Initial into its Soft- as, Gzcraig dda; merch ddoethi 
dyn (an. 

But when the Adjectives are placed before their Substantives (as they 






THE WELSH LANGUAGE. 5^ 



are sometimes) with a Pronoun possessive between, the Adjective may 
be the Masculine, though the Substantive be Feminine j as, Gwijn ei 
llaw. Qldn yw dy ferch. 

Some Adjectives, being used Substantively, are also placed before 
their Substantives, with the Preposition between; as, Flazcer feirch; 
flyn orchzcyl; mwy gyfoeth; rhqgor enllyn; 'chwaneg ddiod; 
digonofzcyd; llai bysgod ; bychan faint, 6 c. 

When a singular or plural Adjective is set before its Substantive, it 
makes the radical Initial of its Substantive soft, as, Duzciol bendejig. 
1 lysion wragedd, G tan ferched. 

All Substantives plural, of what Gender soever they be, will have 
Adjectives after them beginning with their radical Initials, and most 
frequently of the singular Number; as, Piccellau tanUud, Arghcyddi 
caied. Czcyr trazcs. Gzcragedd duzciol. Dynion da. : 

But the Adjective is sometimes of the plural N umber; as, Dynion 
doethion. Merchea I gzcynion. Gzcyr haeiion. 

'Dynion cyndynion dinerth, Tynion erehyllion a cherth:' 

Adjectives of the Comparative and Superlative Degrees, are most 
commonly set before their Substantives; and make no Change of the 
radical Initial of the Substantive, whether it be Masculine or Feminine; 
as, .Mwynach gzcr; glanach gwraig. Goreu gKr; Iccca' gzcraig. 

Fob also is ever plated before its. Substantive, and makes no Change 

(of the Initial ; as, Fob dpi; pob gzcraig. And so is lihyzc ever placecj 
before its Substantive, but always makes the radical Initial of its Sub- 
stantive soft ; as Rhyzc ddi/n ; rhyw fachgen: Which JYaill also doth. 

Numerals are placed before their Substantives, and make no Change 
pf their Initials; as, Un gzlr, tri gzcr,ugain gzbf* Fair gzcraig, pedair 
gzcraig, it gain gzcraig. 

Except Dan, dzcij, which make the Substantive fallowing change it$ 
radical Initial into its Soft* as, Dan fab; dzcy ferch. So un before a 
Feminine Substantive; as, Utiwwig'-, nn ferch. Tri and Qhw$ change 
the Initials of the Substantives following them into the Aspirate; as, Tri 
chdr^ chzce char. But in the Feminine Gender, Fair cates. 

When Substantives beginning with ft, G, D, are compounded with 
Pump, saith, myth, naze, dig, pumtheg, ugain, deugain, Sfc. Cant; then 
the Substantives make the ivi lowing Changes of their Initials, viz. b 
into m, d into, n, and g thrown away ; as, Pumnyn, seith-zcr, zcythmmcc! , 

Ordinals of the Feminine Gender change the Initials of their Sub- 
stantives into their Soft; as, I drydedd laze ; yr ail glust; y bedzcareud* 
bummed, seithfed, fyc. zcraig. 



CHAP. XXVII. 

THE CONSTRUCTION OF PRONOUNS. 

ML I, ti, ni, after the Preposition i, do sometimes throw away their own 
i, and are written im, iz\ in\ instead of /' mi, i It, i ni. And poetically 



52 AN INTRODUCTION TO 

Chwi likewise, after the same Preposition i, throws away its own 
i; and ch and w being transposed, it is written iwch for ichwi; — instead 
of which we often find in the Poets, uwch 9 , and uwch*. 

The Pronoun Relative is often understood in the British; as Clyzcais 
iaith, ni ddyallwn, I heard a Language (that) I understood not. Ps. Ixxxi. 
5. Tr farn a orchymmynnaist, to the Judgment (thai) thou hast 
commanded. Ps. vii. 6. Efe ai dysg ef yn uj'ordd a ddewiso, him 
shall he teach in the way (that) he shall choose. Ps. xxv. 12. Et sic 
millih, saith Dr. Davies. 

r Ihe Pronouns Possessives, Mau, mine, and Tau, thine, are ever 
placed after their Substantives; 1, or Jr, teing also put before the 
Substantives; as, Y tad man; y f am feu: Y gwr tau; y zcraig daw. 
So changing the Initials of mau and tau, to their Softs, if their Substan- 
tives be Feminines. Mau and tau, when they have no Substantive 
expressed, have the Article Y before them ; as, Y mau, y tau, Mascu- 
line. Y fan, y dau, Feminine. 

All the other Possessive Pronouns (except Eiddo) are placed before 
their expressed Substantives; the radical initial Letter of their Sub-? 
stantives being changed, after Fy, into their Liquids; as, Fu (ta; fy 
mara, fyc. after Dy, thine, and Ei, his, into their Softs; as, f)y biant, 
dy dda, dy, fara;. Ei blant, 6?c. after Ei, her, into their Aspirates; as, 
Ei phen; ei t/idd; ei char. j^in, our; eich, your; and eu, their, make 
no Change of the Initials of their Substantives; as, Ein tad; eich Duzc ; 
eu car. 

These Pronouns are contracted thus; 'm, from mi and mau; 'th, from 
t and tau; 'i from ei; '?i, from ein; 'ch, for eich; 'u, for eu; and are 
compounded with A, and; a, with; na, neither or nor; ■/, to; o, out of. 

Ei, his or her, and Eu, their, after i, to, are changed into zc; as, i'w 
ddd, fw thai, to his Father, to her Father; iw tad, to their Father. 
Instead of which they say in South-JVales, idd ei ddd; Masc. Gender, 
iddeithdd; Fern. Gender, idd eu tad, pi ur. 

There are thirteen affixed Pronouns used in Composition with Prepo- 
sitions, viz. Af, yf of, from fi, I; At, yt, ot,t'rom ti,ihou; Om, ym, 
from;//, we; Qch, ych, from chzvi, you; ynt, from huynt, they; O or 
azc, from cfo, he, that ; i, from hi, she, her. 

They are compounded with Prepositions thus : 

Ar, upon; ar/iaf, a? nat, arno or amaze, ami; A mom, amoch, ar~ 
nynt, upon me, thee, him, her; us, you, them. 

At, toj Attafattat, atto,&sC. to me, thee, him, &c. 

Am, hath dan put between it and the affixed Preposition; as, Amdaiu 
af, amdanat, amdano or amdanazc, amdani and amdeni. Plur. Amdaiu 
om, amdanoch, amdanijnt. 

Can or G an, with; as, Cennyf cennyt; cennym, cennych ; Gennyf

The Pronoun Possessive Eiddo, is likewise compounded with the 
affixed Pronouns ; as, EiddoJ) eiddot, eiddo or eiddaw, eiddi ; Eiddorn, 
eiddoch, eiddynt. 

But beside the afore-mentioned Prepositive Compositions, Personal 
Pronouns are also subjunctively compounded with the Particle Au% 
placing a double nn between Mi and JjA, and Au\ and th between 77,

Personal Pronouns have also Hun, or hunan (self or alone) subjoined 
in Apposition with their Singulars: And Hun, or Hnnain, (selves or 
aloue) with their Plurals. See Han, or lianaln in the Dictionary, 



54 AN INTRODUCTION TO 



CHAP. XXVIII. 



THE CONSTRUCTION OF VERBS. 

A HE Affirmative Adverb a is generally put after Nominative Cases, 
before the Persons of Verbs, if the Verbs intend Affirmation; as, .1/7 4 
garaf, ti a geri, efe a gar. Ni a garwn, chici a gerwch, hzcy a garant. 

But in South- Wales y is often used instead o/c; as, Mi y garaf, 
ti y geri, c/mi y gerzcch, Sjc. And the radical Letter of the Verb is 
then turned to its Soft. 

But if any Part of the Sentence be placed before the Nominative 
Case, the Verb then is set before its Nominative, reserving its radical 
Initial, and having the Adverb of Affirming 1' prefixed to it, if it begin 
with a Consonant, yr, or ydd'm South -Wales, if it begin with a Vowel; 
as, / in ' y gzcnaeth JJuzc'r bi'/d. 1 nil yr addawodd. But when the 
Accusative Case is placed befoie the Verb, the y or yr is sometimes 
changed into c; as, Qyflafan a icnaeth efe. 

A is never set before a Verb Substantive, but always y\ as, I mae 
Duzy yn y nef\ Duw y sydd dda. 

Yet Lewis Glyn Cothi said, Emrys yn y maes a wyf. 

Instead of y the Antients used yd; 

$ Hir yd goffeir a "offaaf.' D. B. for y coffeir. 

* Na'r trihael haelach yd gnffad.' JLh B. for y caff id. 

. But y is most commonly omitted before the Verb Substantive; as, 

'Mae'r goron ym mrig eiyr.' 

1 Mae'm mryd y corph man 'mrawd cu.* 
' Duw sy dda, dwys ei ddial.' 
* Duw sydd a dewis iddaw.* 

If the Verb begin the Sentence, and its Nominative Case come after 
it; then doth the Verb, either immediately lead; as, Gzcnaeth y rmlzcr 
gyflafun: Or it hath the Particle^ put before it; as, E wnaeik y mil- 
wr gyftofan. 

The Nominative Cases of Verbs, whether" placed before or after 
their Verbs^ reserve their radical Initials; as, Dafydda ddi/zcedodd With 
loab; or, Dyzcedodd Dafydd wrih loab. Duw a icnaeth y bud; or, 
Gzcnaeth Dtizv y bf/d. However the Nominative Case of Bu, (was) 
doth sometimes assume the soft Form; as, Rufrazo yn y gwefsytt. I 
Sam. xiv. 15. And so do Nominative Cases, placed after the third 
Person Singular of the Verbs ending in ai\ whatever Moods or Tenses 
the Verbs be of; as, Y gallai ddyn, that a man could. Pe dywedasai 
ddyn wrthyf, if a Man had told' me. Quid arbedai Dduzc, if God 
would not spare. Pettai, or Pe bai ddyn yn galla, if a Man could. 

If the Nominative Cases of Verbs Passives, which are ever placed 
after their Verbs, immediately follow their Verbs, they reserve their 
radical Initials: as, Ofner Dim-. Dysgir daioni i ddynion. But if 



THE WELSH LANGUAGE 53 

some other Word or Words come between the Passive Verb and its 
Nominative, then doth the radical Letter of the Nominative turn to its 
Soft; as, Di/sgir i ddynion ddaioni. 

A Noun Collective singular may have a Verb plural as well as a 

singular; as, Y bob! a symniud < ' 

So when two Proper Names come before a Verb, the Verb may be 

indifferently singular or plural ; as, 

Pedr ac loan \ ; I i'r demh 

Accusative Cases coming after Verbs (whether immediately or at a 
Distance) whatever Person the Verb is of, do change their Radicals into 
their Soft j as, Duzc a zcnaeih ddyn. Parodd gyicilydd i mi. Y mil- 
Xiiir a zawethant ddlfrodi Dengya Duw drugaredd. Portha bugaii 
da braidd yr Arglwydd. 

But if the Accusative Case begin the Sentence, it retains its radical 
Letter; as, Cyjiafan a zataeth y milwr. 

When two Accusative Cases, in Apposition, come after a Verb, the 
latter is connected to the former by the Particle ¥n, as, Cefais gosp yn 
zcobr am fy mhoen. 

The Infinitive Mood makes no Change in the radical Letter of the 
W T ord governed of it; so the Word governed immediately follow the 
Infinitive Mood; as, JYa chynnygzcneutlmrcamd neb. But if some 
other Word or Words come between the Infinitive Mood and the Woid 
governed, then the radical Initial of the Word governed is turned to 
its Soft, as, JVa chyrmyg wneuthur a neb gam. 

Nouns come after Verbs of Filling, with the Preposition o; as, Llemvi 
ysgubor o yd. As also with ag and a ; as, hlenici Uestr a gwin. Llenui 



r . 



Verbs of Abounding have o; as, Amlhau o dda. Lliosogodd o gy- 
foeth. Cyfoethogodd o rds. 

. Of Accusing have o; as, Picy dm argyhoedda i o bechod? Cyhuddo 
dyn o ladrad. 

Of Agreeing, have a; as, Cyttuna ath elyn. And Verbs that are of 
a contrary Signification; Ymtadd a dau. 

Of Arraying, have a or am\ as, Gwug dy hurt a phais. Gzcisg bais 
am danat. 

Of Asking and Tntreating, have i or gan\ as, Arch iddo; gofyn

Weddi. 

Of Loading, have d or ag; Llwytho ag ciur, ag arian, d thryssr. 

Of Meriting, have ar\ Ilaeddu ar ddyn. 



56 AN INTRODUCTION TO 

Of Receiving, have gan; as, Cefais hyn gan Lywarch. Cymmer gan

Of withdrawing, have o or oddi; as, Aeth o'i wlad. Dos oddi-yma. 
Cilia oddizcrthyf. 

Verbs signifying Practice or use, have o; as, Ymarfer o fwynder i

Verbs signifying a Passion of the Mind, have wrth] as, Digiodd zcrth 
y llangc. Tost aria zcrth y tlazcd. Trngarhau, creuloni, ffrommi, 
chzcyddo, afryzoiogi, sorri, zcrth ei gydymmaith. 

The Instrument wherewith a Thing is done, is induced with d, be- 
tween it and the Verb; as, Taro d chleddyf] dffon. Brathn a cholyn. 
Llddd d chylkll. 

Nouns of Price follow the Verb with JSr; as, Gwerthu er punt} 
Fry timer arian. And sometimes with^vw; as, Frynais am chzceugein* 

Verbs Passives have gan> with the casual Word of the Person acting, 
after them ; as, Frynir march ganddo. Cyhuddir y gwr ofrdd gan ei 
teds ei hun. 

The third Person Singular of all Tenses is used indefinitely of any 
Person, especially if the Nominative Ca-e be emphatical. And the 
Use of this Construction is most frequent in the Verb-Substantive; as, 

Ai ti yw brenhin yr Iuddewon? Mi yw'r zmnxcydden, a chwithau 
yw'r canghennau. 

'Gwyr a wna g^r yn w rol. 

Gwr a wna gwyr yn ei 61. 

Aed y trued hyd atto'r wyl.' G. GJL 

« Mi a eirch yt y march hwn/ I. T. 

'Dynion a wna dau wyneb. 

Di a gynnull yn cleg uniawn/ G.GI. 

'Minrteu am gwawd tafawd da 
Am ei esgair ai mysga.* 

When a Question is asked in the Present Ten 9e, the Answer is macfe 
by the same Tense of the same Verb; as, A well di hynf Gwelaf* 
Wyt ti yn ciywedf zeyf. A geri di Jif car of. 

Li' the question be in the Preterperfect tense, aud the Emphasis be in 
the Verb, the Answer is made, if Affirmative, by do; if Negative, by 
Na ddo. Or otherwise, by repeating the Verb, and putting it in the 
proper Person, if an affirmative Answer : But, if Negative, by repeating 
the Verb, and putting J\'a before it; as, A geraist di hyn ? Cerais, or 
do; or Negatively, Aa ddo, or na cherals. 

But if the Emphasis be in some other Words, the Question is made 
by Ai y and the Answer is made affirmatively by /<?, yes; or negatively 
by JS^ge, no; as, Ai hwn a gerakt? Ie, <pr JSTage. 

When a Question is asked in the Future Tense, the Answer is made 
by the same Tense, or by the Future Gzcndf, I will do; as, A geri di$ 
Caraf y or gzendf. 

Absolute Sentences are made by a Conjunction and the Infinitive 
Mood of the Verb; as, A y 't Brenin yn dyfod, the King coming, or whilst 
♦he King came. Or the Infinitive being understood; as, A ni yno.

CHAP. XXIX. 

OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF ARTICLES. 

Jl Is ever placed before Words beginning with Consonants; and before 
ic, when G is thrown away from the Word, as being Feminine, as Y 
uraig: And sometimes before words beginning with 1 ; as y laith. Yr 
is never put entire but before such Words as begin with Vowels. 

These Articles restrain or determine the Sense of the Word they are 
put before, to same Particular; in the some Manner as the definite 
Article the in English. 

When Words of the Masculine Gender have an Article set before 
them, their radical Letters are not changed; as, Y g&r, y breiiin; But 
if they be feminities, their Initials are changed into their Soft; as, Y 
Irenhines', y wraig. 

When a Welsh Verb, Preposition, or other Particle, ending with a 
Vowel, come before a Substantive or Adjective beginning with a Con- 
sonant as well as Vowel; and if the be sound in the English between 
them : Then is V or yr, added to those Words ending with Vowels; and 
the Substantives or Adjectives make no Change of their radical Initials, 
if Masculines* but change them into their Soft, if Feminities (so those 
Feminities begin not with LI or Rh); as, Cospir bradzvr; Cospi'r an* 
ffadzcr ; Y tad a'rfam ; J\a'r tad na'rfam '; 1 'rzn/r tad a thrzzy'rfam ; 
O'r tad ac o'rfam ; I'r tad ac i'r Jam ; Cospi'r tad a chospi'r jam ; Y 
grasol dad a'r dmgarog Jam ; Jf drugarog Jam a'r grasol dad; Myfi 
yw (or ydyzc'r) dyn. 

Proper Names have not the Articles set before them, because they 
do of themselves individually or particularly distinguish the Things or 
Persons, of which one speaks; and they being thus particularly distin- 
guished need not any more particular Distinction. And for this Reason 
the W.ord Duw, signifying the Supreme Being, lias no Article before it; 
except where he is distinguished from the false Gods of the Heathen; 
as in Acts xvii. 24. Y I) uw a zvnaeih y byd a phob peth sydd ynddo, %c. 
So likewise the Names of Countries, Cities, Rivers, Sec. have no Articles 
before them. 

Vet the Ancients commonly set an Article before Proper Names; as, 
3 Ci/non, Y Gizcn. 

An Article is not put before the former of two Substantives, wheu 
they betoken divers Things. 

CHAP. XXX. 

OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF ADVERBS. 

*M^ An Adverb of Asking and of Affirming, makes the Word following 
it change its radical into its Soft; as, A J'u tfdj/ti drymmach ei fryd'i 
Dtwa ddyuedodd, H 



58 AN INTRODUCTION TO 

Na, ni, o na, before Words beginning with B, D, G, LI, Kh, make 
the Initials of those Words soft; as, JXaJiysia; na ddyuaid; na ad; 
Uawna; ndUdd\ na rodia. 

Except Verbs Substantives, which are used, sometimes with a radical, 
sometimes with a soft Initial; as, Dyzcedodd na byddem gzcaeth. JVi 
fydd ymrysongar. 

'Ni beiddiaf dy rybuddiaw/ D. G. 
*Ni beiddiaf, ni bu addas, 
Ganu dy gerdd gan dy gas.* lor. F. 
'Ni feiddiaf rhag anfoddau.' 

And so before any other Verbs, in the Poets * 

'Ni media larwm Mathae.' G. Gl. 
' N T i mynnjen am ei einioes.* D.Ed. 
'Pam ar fonedd a gwedd gwiw 
Brawd iarll na bvvrid eurlliw.* 

They change the radical Initials of the Verbs beginning withC, V, T f 
into Aspirates; as, Nacftar; nipnsr', ona thazcit. 

Words preserve their radical Initials, when they come after any of 
these Adverbs following; viz. Agatfydd, ax, fe allai, allan, nkl amgen, 
amgi/lch, ond antur, yr awrhon f cyn, o ddamzcain, diammau, diau, 
digon, diotr, o'r dizcedd, yn ddizceddar, yn ddizcethaf, ebrzcydd, eisioes,

qddisod, yn 61, ond odid, onid, pie, sef, tra, tradzcy, yn dragyzcydd, 
tranoefh, trennydd, i wared, zceithian, y lent, ym, ymaith, ymron, yn 
ymyl, yna, y/iazcr, ys, ysgatfydd. 

The Adverbs following make the Words, which come after them, 
change their initial Consonants into their Soft; viz. Acczv, achlan, adolzcg, 
adolzcyn, ale, daccw,dobry, doe, ctraw] dyfry, dymma, dijna, e,fe,fo, 
gormodd, i, iddo, llyma, llyna, nag e, nycka, oddiar, rhy, syrn, swm, 
taran, zcele, ychydig. 

These Adverbs, Agos, betlach, heunydd, echdoe yma, yno, when Verbs 
follow them, sutler them to retain their radical Initial*; but if Substant- 
ives follow them, they change their Initials to the soft Form. 

Braidd and Prin, before a Verb, have y between them and the Verbs, 
in Affirmations, the Verb retaining its radical Initial; as, Frin y dug 
qV pren degzcm. 

When .na, negative comes after them, Soft; as, Braidd na lithrais. 

When compounded with Nouns, they make them change their Initial* 
likewise into the soft Form; as, Braidd gyfzerdd, braidd gof. 

It is usual in Welsh to Multiply Negatives; Ai am nad oedd dim 
leddau yn yr Aipht? as in Greek, 'Ov ph, quh 6u$h. 

All the Interjections make the Nouns following them change their 
Initials into the Soft ; as, Ha elyn\ tyred wr. But when Verbs come 
after them, they retain their radical Initials. 

When we say, o Dlw, and the l&e, ai&set bj itself, and Duw, al

But Oni has sometimes the Radical ; as, 
*Oni myn ith am enaid, 
Ymroi i Syr Rys, marw sy raid.* T. A. 

As also tile Soft; as, Cospir di oni zceithi. 

Mor and Cyn make no Change of LI and Rh ; as, Cyn llyfned, cyn 
rhattfd. Mor llauen, mor rhydA. 

They change all the other mutable Consonants into the Soft; as, 
Mor dtg, cyndecced, mor gri/f, cyn gryfed.

Or it is incorporated with the Verb, thus ; 

Sing. Fetticn, pelt it, petiai. PI. Petty m, petty rh, petty nt. 

Sing. Fettaszcn, asit, asai. PL Pettasem, asech, asent. 

The Conjunctions, Am, can, gan, neu, pun, change the radical Initial 
of the Word following into its Soft.

Yn gystal mam a thad. Yn gystal

Aur ac avian 
A, Ag, prep, with; as, Lladdzcyd 
efd chleddyf. Ac a'u dug hzaynt 
a (tan ag avian. Ps. 105. 37. We 
use to put a circumflex over the 
prep. A y for distinction's sake, 
and none over the adv. and conj. 
A. The A, whether adv. conj. or 
prep, is used to be set before 
words beginning with a conso- 
nant, and Ac and Ag generally 
before words beginning with a 
vowel; as you see in the examples 
above. But Ac is sometimes put 
before consonants; as, Beunydd 

Kac fifth y clodforwn dydi. Te 
Deum 

A, an adv. of asking is of the same 
signification with the Latin adv. 
an, nam, nunquid; and hath no 
English expressed for it: as, A 
oes neb yma ? Nunquis hie est? 
Is there any here? 

A, an adv. of affirming is placed 
before verbs only ; as, Duw a ddy- 
wedodd, God said; Duzo awyr, 
God knows ; Bam afydd, J udg- 






AB 

ment will be. It is only an ex- 
pletive, except when it is used 
relatively; as, Yr enaid a beclio. 
The soul that sinneth. Ezekiel 
18. 4. 

A, is also a prep, used in composi- 
tion, and enhanceth the sense of 
w 7 ords; as, Achadw, from A and 
Cadzo; Achat, from A. and Car; 
Achrwm, from A and Ctwm; A- 
phwifs, from A and Pzcys; Ath- 
risty from A- and Trist 

Ab, s. an Ape 

Ab, or Ap, s. is set between the 
son's and the father's name in pe- 
digrees for Mdb, a son, and used 
to serve formerly instead of a .sir- 
name; as, Gruffydd ab Cynan; 
Ilozcel ab Jeuaj) Llerce/yn ab 
Jorzcerth. But since the Welsh, 
in imitation of the English, have 
taken sirnames, they have left out 
the A, and joined the B to the 
name following, if it began wish 
a vowel; or P, if it began with H 
or 11. Hence many of our sir- 
names beginning with jB or P; as, 
Bouen, tor Ab Owen; Beinion, 
for Ab Einion; Biihel, for Ab 
lthel; Bevan, for Ab Evan; 
B

Prys, (now written, Price, and

Ab, the 1 1th month of the Jewish 
civil year, and the 5th of their sa- 
cred. It answered to our moon of 
July, and consisted of 30 days

Abatty, s. an abbey-house, a mo- 
nastery over which an abbot pre- 
sides. So in Arm. 

Aball. s. W. LI. renders it A nun- 
dab. Whence T. W. renders it 
Dissidimn in Latin: that is, vari- 
ance, discord or disagreement. 
But Dr. Davies thinks it signifies 
the same as Pail, want, defect, 
failing, need, scarcity, ruin. ' Y 
mae trais, a lladrad ac anudon 
wedi gyrru ar aball bob cynneddf- 
au da.' Richard, Bp. of St. Da- 
vid's, in his preface to the N. T.

Abana, (stony) ylbana a Phar* 

phar j rivers of Syria; 2 Kings 5. 
12. 

f Abar, budreddi. LI. It seems 
to be a noun adj. and to signify, 
corrupt, rotten, stinking. Others 
take it to be the same as Buria, a 
carcase. 'Abar feddau.' D. B. 
1 Nid abar y gwfiaeth.' C. i Cya 
bwyf abar am bo lludded.' M.Br. 
'Lleer gwawr gwedy bo abar, lie

Abba, (father) ylbha Dad, abba 
father. The Spirit of adoption 
enabling the saints to cry Abba 
Father, imports, that by his influ- 
ence bottr Jews and Gentiles, as 
one united body, have assured a 
familiar intercourse with God, 
Rom. 8. 13. 

Abediw, s. (Ebedizc or Obedizc, for 
'tis variously written,) a herriot, 
the best beast a tenant has at the 
time of his death, dueto the lord. 
in the Welsh laws it signifies, a 
sum of money due to the iord from 
the goods of a vassal, tenant, or 
feudatory, when he died. 'Punt a 
hariuer yw ei Ebediw.' K.H. This 
v\ ord comes from Obedizc, which 
is derived from the Lat. Obitu. 
I n ei ObediWy In obitu suo. Quid 
apertvus® saith Dr. Wotton. 

Aber, s. the fall of a lesser water in- 
to a greater; as, of a brook into a 
river, of a river into a lake or sea; 
the mouth of a river, a haven, a 
port or harbour. In N. W. it sig- 
nifies a brook, a stream. From 

, this word, and the name of the 
river joined to it, are derived not 
only the names of many towns 
and other places in Wales, but al- 
so in Scotland; as, Aberdeen, 
ylbemeihy, ylberbroth, Sfc. 

Aberffraw, s. the royal seat of the 
princes of North-Wales, whilst 
they fiomish'd ; situate in the isie

the maidenhead of every woman 
whose husband held land of him; 
for it was wont to be paid, whe- 
ther a maid was married or de» 
jftour'd. It is also called, Gobr 
Merck, or Gzcabr Merck. 'Tri

Some are of opinion, that, before 
the conversion of the Britans to 
Christianity, the lords did claim the 
maidenhead of the daughters of 
their tenants, dependants, and ho- 
magers. Dr. Da vies thinks this 
maiden fee was to be paid to- the 
father, if living, or else to the lord. 
Hence, perhaps, a virgin is called 
Diflmth Ere/thiri, The king's de- 
part. In the manour of Dinefwr in 
Carmarthenshire, every tenant at 
the marriage of his daughter, pays 
ten shillings to the lord; which is 
called GicobrMerch, i.e. A maid's 
fee. In the manour of Buellt in 
Radnorshire, a noble paid by every 
tenant at the marriage of a daugh- 
ter, is called Maiden-Rent. Vid. 
Cowell in voce. This custom, 
with some variation, is observed in 
some other places in Wales, and 
in some parts of England, as also 
in Scotland, and the Isle of Guern- 
sey. Hector Boethius, in his history 
of Scotland, relates that Ewen the 
3d, who is supposed to have reign- 
ed about 20 years before Christ's 
incarnation, made a law, that him- 
self and his successors should have 
the maidenhead, or iirst night's 
lodging with every woman, whose 
husband held land immediately of 



the crown : and the lords and gen- 
tlemen of all them, whose hus- 
bands were their tenants or ho- 
magers; which law continued 'till 
the days of Malcolm the Hid, 
sirnamed Conmor, Who, at the 
instance of his queen, abrogated 
and abolished this lewd law, and 
ordained that the tenants, by way 
of commutation, should pa) unto 
their lord a maik in money ,• which 
tribute the historian saith, is yet 
in force, and is called Ma relict a

Qvt&Gwrddfan, a strong and tall 
man. Gwradfan gazer, the name 
of a giant, from Ins strength and 
heighth, or tallness. Hence al^o 
the name of the antient and must 
famous monastery of Bangor 
seems to be derived; q. d. Bann 
gor, an high, excellent, famous 
choir, 8cc. And hence, perhaps, 
the word hath been transferred 
to signify an high, conspicuous 
mountain. Gr. Bav®-, Boynos, 
a hill. Y Fann, Bwtch y Fann, 
Tal if Fann j Benin ucn denni, 
Banngeibr. There are several 
hills of this name in Brecknock- 
shire, and some in Caermarthen- 
shire, and Glamorganshire; tho' 
it be scarcely known in other 
parts of W ales, But in the High- 
lauds of Scotland and Ireland, the 
higher hills have generally that 
appellative, with some other 
wards added for distinction. 
Vid. E. Lh. Archaeologia Brit. 
p. 279. And there is a hill by 
the city of Bath called Bansdozai. 
Adar bann, Tal. calls mountain 
birds. Hence Banniar seems to 
to be derived, from its being lift- 
ed up : whence the Eng. Banner. 
And hence it comes to signify a 
natural mark, spot, mole or ex- 
crescence in the body, as being 
conspicuous, or appearing above 
the rest of the skin. Elen fann- 
og, from a mole on her face. 
Mair wyry hebfann, the unspot-

Camau, and in N.W. Camedd-

the greatest quality had such se- 
pulchral monuments, before Chris- 
tianity was introduced; but since 
the planting of Christianity, they 
became so detestable and appro- 
priated to malefactors, that some- 
times the most passionate wishes 
a man can express to his enemy 
is, that a Cam be his monument; 
Cam at dy wy&eb. And thus-

•f Derwyddon, s. the Druids, philo- 
sophers or wise men amongst the 
Britains and Gauls. They were 
present at all divine offices, look- 
ed after all both publick and pri- 

.vate sacrifices, and interpreted 
the mysteries of Religion. They 
were also the great ministers of 
state. One of the principal points 
they taught was the immortality 
and transinigrasion of souls. They 
had oaks in great estimation, aud 
all things that grew upon them, 
especially the misselto,'whic\i they 
esteemed most sacred, and wor- 
shipped as a thing sent unto them 
from Heaven. Their usual resi- 
dence was also in groves, amongst 
oaks ; nor did they perform any 
of their ceremonies without some 
branches or leaves of that tree. 
It is very probable therefore that 
they were called Derwyddon from 
the Brit, word Derzv, oaks. 'A'tli

TEE BRITISH PROVERBS are here re-printed for thy Sake, 
and some few added, zchich are not to be found in the Collections pub- 
lished before. The first Collection of themzcas made by old Gyrys of 
Yale in Denbihgshire; but at what lime this Gyrys lived, Dr. Davies 
himself could not inform us. Some hundreds of Proverbs were added 
by the Doctor in that compleat Collection, zchich he published with his 
Dictionary. A few of these Proverbs are somewhat obscure; tho*e 
I have distinguished by prefixing an [f] Obelisk to them. These Old 
Sayings, transmitted to. us from our Ancestors, do well deserve to be 
preserved* The great Dr. DaviEs calls them Antique Biitoniun sapi- 
ential reliquias, The Remains of the ancient Wisdom of the Britains. 
And since the life of Man is so very short, that his Experience can be but 
small, and his Observations few, zee ought not to neglect any Instruc- 
tions we may receive from former ages. 2 . II.

Nofio, Ymafael. A hwy a elwir felly am nad rhaid wrth

NAW IIELWRIAETII. 



'R naw Helwriaeth, tair helfa gyffredin sydd; 1. Carw, 
2. Haid wenyn. 3. Gleisiad : A thair helfa gyfarthfa, 1. 
Arth. 2. Dringhedydd. 3. A Cheiliog coed : A thair helfa 
ddolef, 1. Llwynog. 2. Ysgyfarnog.. 3. Iwrch. Y Carw a 
ddywedir ei fod yn nn o'r tair bejfa gyffredin, yn gyntaf, 
am ei fod yn wychaf ac yn wroIa£.anifail y mae helwr^ 
iaeth arno a bytheiad ac a milgwn :■ yaail, am ei fod yn 
rhannog rhwng pawb a ddel af*6 # wedi ei ladd, cyn tynnu'r 
croen oddiamdano : : cblegidy-ifs Dydd gwr ar ei daith yn 
dyfod heibio yr amaer hwnnw, ef .a gaiff jrann o hono wrth» 
gyfraith cystal a'r neb a'i lladdo. Baid wenyn sy helfa 
gyfTredin, oblcgid pwy bynnag a'i caffo*ar ei dir ei hun, neu 
ar dir^arall, yVmae yn rhannog pawb ojhoni ar a ddel atti 
cyn rh6i o hono wystl, sef yw hynny rhoi hod wrthi i ddangos 
mai efe- a'i cafas gyntaf; ac onls gwna/pawb a ddelo yno a 
gaiff rann o honi, ond bod 4d. yn myned i berchennog y tir. 
Glei&ati- a elwifr yn helfa gyffredin, oblegid pan fydder yn 
ei hely a rhwyd neu a thryfer, neu mewn modd ar all, pwy 
bynnag a ddel atto cyn ei rannu, y mae iddo rann o hona 
cystal a'r neb a'i dalio; cs bydd mewn d;vr cyffredin. 



Y CAMPAU. 

Yr Arth sy helfa gyfarthfa, am ei bod yn gig hely o'r 
pennaf, ac am na bydd fawr ymlid ami, am nas gall gerdd* 
ed ond yn araf, ac ni bydd ond ei baeddu, a'i chyfarth, a'i 
lladd. 

Dringhedydd yw pob peth a ddringo i frig pren i'w amddi- 
ffyn ei hun. Ac ni ddyly heliwr ddywedyd Bele, neu Gath 
goed, neu Wiwair, neu Ffwlbart, ond eu galw Dringhedydd 
liwyd, dringhedydd du, dringhedydd coch. Ac am nas gall 
dringhedydd ddiangc ym mhell, ond dringo i'r pren v ac yno 
ei fieddu a'i gyfarth a wnair. 



Ceiliog coed a elwir yn helfa gyfarthfa, oblegid pan ddel 
y bytheiad ar ei hynt ef, ei ymlid a wnant oni gy rnmero 
bren, ac yno ei gyfarth a'i faeddu a wnair. 

Y Cadnaw sydd helfa ddolef, oblegid er maint fo'r gwaeddi 
a'r canu cyrn ar ei 61, ef a gynnal ei helynt oni flino. 

Ysgyfarnog sydd helfa ddolef am ei bod yn cadw ei helynt 
er maint fo'r ymlid ami. 

Yr Iwrch a elwir yn helfa ddolef oblegid yr un achos. 

Pennaf cighely^ywCarw, ac Ysgyfarnog, a Baedd gwyllt, 
ac Arth. 

Os gollyngir milgwn i garw neu anifail arall, a'i ymlid o'r 
milgwn dros fryn, allan o olwg, a'i ladd, y milgi blaetiaf yn 
y golwg diwethaf biau'r croen. Ond ni chaiff miliast green 
er ei ynnill, oni bydd hi yn dorrog o filgi a ennillodd groen, 
ac yna hi a'i caiff. 

Am Ysgyfarnog, pa beth bynnag a'i lladdo, y ci neu'r 
arall a'i coito o'i gwal a'i piau, os ci cheisio-ybys 
hymlid. 



Y CAMP AIT. 

V naw helwriaeth a ddyly bawb eu gwybod ar a ddygcfr 
gorm Ac oni feidr roi atteb am danynt, ef a gyll ei gorn, 
Ac os daw neb i hely a'i gynllyfan amdano, oni feidr roi 
atteb am y naw helwriaeth, ef a gyll ei gynllyfan. Ond ef 
a all fod a'i gynllyfan am ei fraich yn ddiddial. 

Ni all neb illwng na milgi ha miiiast i un anifail pan fo'r 
bytheiaid yn ei ymlid, oni bydd iddo ynteu fytheiaid yn ei 
ymlid ; ac oni bydd, fe all y neb a fo yn canlyn y bytheiaid 
<lorri llinyn garr ei filgi, os efe a'i gillwng. 

Kid rh^dd i neb saethu anifail y bo helwriaeth arrio, pan 
fo yn ei esmwythdra, tan boen colli ei fwa a'i saeth i argl- 
wydd y tir. Ohd efe a gaiff ei saethu, a'i ladd os gall, pari 
fo'r huaid ar ei 61* ond na chaiff saethu ym mysg y cwn. 

Os a neb i hely, a gillwng ar anifail, a chyfarfod o gwn 
segur ag ef, a'i ladd, y cwn cyntaf bieufydd, onid cwn y 
brenhin fydd y rhai segur. 

Yr anifail a helier fydd ar arddelw yr heliwr cyntaf, hyd 
oni ymchwelo ei wyneb parth a'i gartref, a'i gefn ar yr hely. 
Ond o bydd ei gwn ef yn hely, ac ynteu wedi ymadael a'i 
gwn ni ddyly ef ddim cyd lladdo y cwn segur ef, ond per- 
chennog y cwn segur bieufydd. 

Felly' r ocdd y gvfraith hely gynt<
